The Bradford Cathedral and Cecil Green Arts has organised a colourful Christmas lantern parade which was to snake its way through Bradford city centre.
People were able to make their very own Christmas lanterns at a special workshops held in the Broadway Shopping Centre. Once they had made a lantern they were to make their way to the Bradford Cathedral where the lantern parade was to start then make its way through the city to City park.
The illuminated procession of homemade lanterns left Bradford Cathedral at 4.30pm . The parade left the Cathedral and travelled along Lower Kirkgate with crowds gathering outside Marks & Spencer and H&m to watch the Illuminated Carnival weave its way onto Market Street
passing the Broadway shopping Centre.
Once the Christmas lantern parade had reached City park it made a circuit of the mirror pool ending outside City Hall.
In GHOST CARIBOU, Thingumajig Theatre’s new night-time street act, giant illuminated creatures, part caribou, part spirit, roam a mystical world after dark, accompanied by a wild herdsperson.
