The Niton Lanterns event is a wonderful community celebration that brings light, creativity, and fun to the darker winter months. Focusing on craft workshops Isle of Wight visitors will love, this family-friendly event combines lantern-making, local art, and a joyful evening parade through the village.
What to Expect From The Craft Workshops Isle Of Wight
Join the lantern-making workshops in Niton Village Hall, where artists help you craft your own glowing lantern using recycled materials. Later, the lantern parade winds through the streets, filling the night with colour, laughter, and music — a true highlight of the island’s winter calendar.
All workshops are free, with a suggested donation of £4 per lantern to cover the material costs. Not for profit, community run event. The Parade is a free community event and open to everyone.
Local Tips
Workshops are popular, so booking in advance is recommended. There’s parking near the village hall, and The White Lion pub nearby is perfect for dinner after the parade. Families with children will love the friendly community feel.
