The Much Anticipated Lantern Procession will Return to Northampton This Diwali

On Saturday the 30th October the much-anticipated lantern procession will begin at 6pm on the Market Square, with two pedal-powered puppets of Harminder the elephant and Shanti the giant bird leading the way. These old favourites will be joined by puppets of Hanumanji, Rama, Sita, Ravana and Ganesh, as well as pupils from local schools, as they make their way up Abington Street, along St Giles' Terrace and down St Giles Street. The procession will then take a loop of All Saints Church before returning to the Market Square.
