After three hugely successful years, Hexham Lantern Parade is BACK for 2024!
This year, members of Gateway into the Community are working with artists Deni Riach and Ruth Thompson to create a giant lantern to lead the 2024 parade.
For the first time ever, Groove and Glow will kick-off this year’s proceedings with timeless disco hits. After parading through Hexham, the vibrant, “glowing disco on wheels” will lead people to the Shambles inviting everyone to join in, dance, and light-up the night!
Groove and Glow is an outdoor interactive promenade performance by Curious Arts, a leading LGBTQIA+ arts organisation in the North East, which features a custom-built LED trike equipped with a built-in sound system that plays disco tracks guaranteed to get people dancing.
The Hexham Lantern Parade by Queen’s Hall Arts with the support of the North East Combined Authority. It was first created as part of Hexham’s High Street Heritage Action Zone, which helped fund the first three years of the event.
