'Christmas Cracker' Lantern Parade from 5.30pm
A stunning Christmas Cracker themed Lantern Parade will be setting off from Cranleigh Arts Centre at 5.30pm. Cheer on local children from Park Mead, St Josephs, Glebelands, Cranleigh Primary, Cranleigh Youth Club and
Cranleigh Brownies and Guides as they parade over 200 lanterns created following a masterclass with artist Simona Paterova from Street Processions.
Join us as we head towards Fountain Square accompanied by the uplifting beats of the
Friary Guildford marching band. Look out for Dick Lane and the magnificent white Lippizaner horses transporting some special guests in the Christmas carriage.
