Hexham Lantern Parade 2026

Hexham Lantern Parade is BACK for 2026!

Sponsored by EGGER, we're delighted to announce that the Lantern Parade will once again light up the streets of Hexham!

Save the date now – we'll be sharing more details soon, including information about our free public lantern-making workshops and the exciting announcement of this year's parade band.

Hexham Lantern Parade 2026 is presented by Queen’s Hall Arts thanks to the generous sponsorship of EGGER. Read more about the partnership here.

It was previously supported by the North East Combined Authority and it was first created as part of Hexham’s High Street Heritage Action Zone, which helped fund the first three years of the event.
