Please include your needs on the registration form and we will do our best to accommodate them. Please note, if taking part in the procession, the route is 1.16km and mostly flat.

6. Can my family join in?

We would love for families to join in the fun! Please bear in mind that while families are very welcome to make a lantern at homeLink opens in a new window and join the procession, the workshops on the day are specifically for students and we cannot accommodate children at them. We are also unable to provide childcare during this event – so if you would like to marshal the route you will not be able to have your child(ren) with you and they would need a responsible adult supervising them.
