You are invited to take part in Chelmsford’s first ever magical Parade of Light, brought to life through a record-breaking local crowd-funding campaign! The event will bring communities together to walk peacefully through the city centre in remembrance with beautiful hand-crafted lanterns and floats. Why not make your own lantern by following a video tutorial on the Ideas Festival website? Or just come along to Anglia Ruskin University, Michael Salmon Building, at 18:00 to join the parade through the city. This event is held in partnership with the Cathedral Youth Club and Chelmsford Hindu Society. Free parking is available at ARU on a first come first serve basis.

The Walk is 5K from the University, it follows the River into the City Centre, up the High Street then through the Bellmead Meadow to The Transition. There is a shorter walk with no steps from Bond Street, this is approximately 2.5K. You can find a Map on Light Parade Page.
