Get ready for the magical 2025 Lantern Spectacular, a half-mile procession of candle-lit paper and willow lanterns winding through the streets to light up the night.
Don't miss the owl, the polar bear, the dragon and the giant gingerbread men.....
The festivities don’t stop there... street entertainment will fill the night: SPARK!’ are back with their drumming spectacle not to be missed! The shops are open late and there are street food and market stalls all around the centre plus a Craft Fair in the Town Hall and Santa down near the Greenman.
Free parking in town car parks from 2pm, so come early to shop, dine, and enjoy Ashbourne's festive magic!
The Lantern Spectacular is organised by Ashbourne Christmas Community Group.
