Winter Solstice Lantern Walk

Saturday 20th June

Rug up and join us as we celebrate the Winter Solstice at our much-loved Mid Winter Lantern Walk on Saturday 20th June from 5:30pm

Beginning and ending at Williamstown Primary School, families will enjoy a magical lantern walk through the streets of Williamstown before returning to school for a warming hot chocolate, sausage sizzle and cinnamon donut.

Don't forget to bring your homemade lantern to light the way. Just like our much-loved Easter Hat Parade, we encourage children and families to get creative and make their own unique lantern at home.

Please note: Battery-operated lights only. Open flames are not permitted.

The Mid Winter Lantern Walk is a community event and is not supervised. 

All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.

Orders  can be placed here  and must close  15th June 2026 for catering purposes.

If you are able to help out for an hour or so please put your name down on the volunteer register here
