Totton Lantern Parade 2023

About the event

Angels and fairies of the forest are the themes of the magical 2023 Totton Lantern Parade, with bands, stalls and fun for all the family

Thanks to Julie Motherwell, Caroline Rackham and the organising team for everything they do to make this magical event happen. Creative lantern-making workshops have been taking place in schools and community centres since September bringing the Totton & Eling communities together.

The parade, held on Sunday 3 December, will set off from the War Memorial car park on Salisbury Road at 5pm and make its way down Commercial Road and walk around the Asda roundabout where DJs from Testwood Baptist Church will lead carols before culminating in a Christmas lights switch on at 5.30pm.

We are delighted to have been collaborating with Same Sky from Brighton to create a lantern garden and help the local team to make a selection of amazing 3-metre-high lanterns and individual lanterns to be part of the procession.
