Grand Lantern Procession on Millennium Walkway

7pm Sat 22nd September assemble Wirksmoor Rd Recreation Gd.

If you have made a lantern during Festival 2001 bring it along to the recreation field off Wirksmoor Road. If you haven't got a lantern, still come along! Bring a torch instead. Weather permitting, The Derbyshire Building Society's hot air balloon will be there as well. Walk in the Procession through the Torrs, which will be lit with fire sculptures and finish up at Mousely Bottom with a fireworks display by Pa-BOOM. A lovely event for families and folk of all ages. (Route accessible to wheelchairs).
