Fundraising page launched for Tide of Light lantern workshops in Worthing

Tide of Light organisers have launched a project, called the Big Make, which involves lantern-making workshops with a world-famous carnival arts group, the New Carnival Company.

Up to 80 Worthing residents and four community groups will have the opportunity to work with the company, which has worked at events including the carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

A parade spokesman said: “The free workshops will significantly increase the artistic quality of the parade and give community members the chance to learn skills which will stay in the community year after year.
