Malcolm Robinson Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 If you want to watch the lantern parade it will be leaving Morrisons car park at 4pm - walking up past the library and doctors then up to big roundabout at Wetherspoons then turning left down Front Street down to Market Square. Big Bedlington Terrier and 50 lanterns. If you want to join in and carry a lantern be at Morrisons at 3.45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
