MEGAN Anderson and Mitch Franklin, both 10, put the finishing touches to lanterns they have been making for tomorrow’s Christmas Light Night Procession in Oxford.
They are among children at Bayards Hill Primary School, in Barton, and other schools across the city, who have been making lanterns for the big night. About 200 children with lanterns will parade through the city centre between 6.15pm and 6.45pm, accompanied by bands.
There will be two parades, one starting from the Pitt Rivers Museum in Parks Road and the second at Modern Art Oxford in Pembroke Street.
They will meet in Broad Street and switch on the Christmas tree lights. Motorists will be able to park in Oxford’s central car parks for free after 5.30pm.
Many other festive events will be taking place – for a full list visit the city council website at oxford.gov.uk
