About the event

Floating Lanterns

With lanterns in hand, we'll gather at the dock as dusk settles in. One by one, we'll gently let go our lanterns, watching as they float gracefully into the twilight, carrying our wishes and aspirations.

The sight of lanterns floating against the darkening waters is a truly magical spectacle. It's a moment of shared community, a reminder that our hopes and dreams are interconnected, soaring together towards a brighter future.

Come join us!. Let your lantern be a beacon of hope, a symbol of your dreams.

  • How much does it cost to run fairy lights in a flat or a boat for a month?
    The cost of running fairy lights depends on their wattage and how long you keep them on. Generally, it's a relatively low cost. For a more accurate estimate, you can use an online electricity cost calculator: Festive Lights energy CALCULATOR "Modern Christmas lights use LEDs rather than filament bulbs which are less energy efficient, and even a fairly comprehensive outdoor Christmas lights display is likely to cost less than the cost of a burger and fries to power for an entire month.
