Oakham Magical Lantern Walk

11/11/2025

Another wonderful Magical Lantern Walk this year!

We were joined by Rutland Morris, who opened the evening with live music and dance, and then skipping us into Oakham Castle. Followed by a heartwarming song with Sarah from Wa Wa Women. A smaller gathering this year, yet a lovely alternative to the bonfire events at the same time - full of magic and wonder!

The lanterns were outstanding, again. Some amazing creations, it's incredible what can be made out of willow, paper, lights and imagination!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped to create the magic! We look forward to seeing you again next year.
