Martinmas lantern making and procession

Make a lantern first, then carry it out behind a live band. The Marczi puts the recommended age at nought to ninety nine, which is its way of saying everyone.

About the event

Martinmas in Hungary is marked by carrying light out to other people, the light standing for good deeds, and the centre keeps to that. The craft session comes first, with three different lanterns to choose from and two hours to make one. Everyone then gathers in the Marczi's garden before the procession sets off, with Danny Bain playing live alongside the walkers. It is making and walking rather than listening, so no Hungarian is needed to join in. One ticket covers children from three and adults alike, and it is sold as a family programme.
