Fiery Fiery Night - Lantern Procession

VIEW PROJECT GALLERY

Over 250 people gathered at Dorset road Community Centre, in Wigan to celebrate the coming of the lighter nights and a spring clean of the estate.

Around 150 of those that attended, carried lanterns they had previously made at workshops run by Action Factory Community Arts.

Workshops were held at St Richards CE Primary School, Meadowbank Primary School, St Georges Primary School and several workshops were held at ‘Dorset Road Community Centre'.

A fantastic Samba band ‘Juba do Leão' led the lantern parade around the streets of the Hagfold Estate with stilt walking escorts and a sea of lanterns.

The event Finale was hosted by Jago Juggling Arts who put on a stunning 20 minute fire show which included fire juggling, contact juggling and a fantastic pyrotechnic climax to finish.

Action Factory worked in partnership with Hagfold Community Committee. Funding came from the ‘Neighborhood Renewal Fund' and was obtained by Hagfold Community Committee.
