Let us all walk together
Every year, on an evening in November, the people of Rutland gathered at dusk to walk together with warm glowing lanterns through the town of Oakham.
Join us in 2024, when the lantern theme will be Lifting the Light!
Magical Lantern Walk is a free event for the whole community!

November 11th is St Martins Day (also known as Martinmas) and marks the end of the old agricultural calendar. Martinmas is celebrated today across parts of Europe, children carry lanterns they have made and singing Martin songs, processing through the town. Traditionally the walk begins at the town church and finishing at the town centre.

This Root-and-Branch Out CIC community building project happens with the support, help and permission given so generously by so many.
