Bolsover Lantern Parade

Bolsover Lantern Parade is one of the UK's biggest and longest running light processions!

Established in 1994, the Bolsover Lantern Parade lights up the streets of the historic town with hundreds of community lanterns, with many more coming along to watch the visual spectacle. The creativity of generations of Bolsover people has made this one of the biggest and longest-running light processions in the UK!

The month prior to the parade, sees people coming together to create the lanterns at our community and school workshops. We have had some amazing creations over the years, including a giant Buzz Light Year, a steam train, an articulated, smoke-breathing dragon, a spaceman, a Paddington Bear and Stitch!

Starting at Bolsover Castle, the stunning light show, featuring community-made lanterns, will travel through the town creating a beautiful spectacle that culminates at the Cenotaph for Christmas carols.
