ABBEY LANTERN FESTIVALS

 In the Abbey Ward of Cambridge which has the highest level of deprivation in the city, the local residents association has organised a lantern festival every year inspired by a different theme. Residents are invited to attend workshops at the community centre leading up to the lantern parade and a winter celebration.
