Thousands gathered for Small World Theatre’s Cardigan Giant Lantern Parade, a flagship event in this year’s Festival of Light.

Samba Doc, Jake Caswell, and a series of Eisteddfod-themed giant lanterns led the hundreds of participants through the town, delighting the thousands of spectators who lined the route. Welsh lady hats and top hat lanterns crafted by local primary school pupils added creative charm to the spectacle.

Mayor of Cardigan, Cllr Olwen Davies, who joined the celebrations, said:

“We’re so lucky to have this annual celebration that unites the town and is a Christmas treat for all. Congratulations to Small World Theatre’s team and their volunteers for creating another wonderful evening.”
