Experience the magic of Aldgate in Winter Festival Experience the magic of Aldgate in Winter Festival all over again with our Festive Lantern Trail 🏮
Eight of the lanterns proudly paraded through the streets of Aldgate last week are on display throughout the area, turning the streets into an art gallery that’s just waiting to be explored. Each large-scale lantern has been lovingly crafted by local school children over the years, and at each stop, you can read more about the role they play within the Aldgate in Winter celebrations.
So what are you waiting for? You’ve got until 17 December to explore the trail, or you’ll have to wait a whole year until it’s back!
