Join us for A Festival of Light at St Mark’s Church South Farnborough - a week-long celebration bringing together light, creativity, reflection, and community.
We’re kicking off with a Lantern Making Workshop on Saturday 22nd November, from 10:00 am - 12:30 pm. Some materials will be provided, but feel free to bring any extras - coloured card, paper, ‘jewels’, or embellishments - and your own scissors or a covered craft knife. Refreshments will be available, and it’s a great way to start preparing for the festival together.
Our festival continues with a Lantern Procession starting from St Mark’s School at 6:30 pm on Saturday 29th November, leading into a whole week of activities and open church times:
