Motorists are being advised that a series of rolling road closures will be in place in Bath city centre during the Holburne Museum Lantern Procession on Thursday 19th November.
KES pupils recently created lanterns ready for the procession
The Holburne Museum Lantern Procession has, over many years, grown from a small scale family celebration into a magical spectacle involving the whole community.
Bath & North East Somerset Council is linking in with this community event and the city’s Christmas illuminations will light up in celebration on the same evening.
The youngest members of the Holburne Museum Lantern Procession will bring their lanterns into Abbey Churchyard for the lighting of the Christmas Tree at approximately 18:30.
The rolling road closures will be in force along the route of the procession from 17:30-19:00 and will affect: Great Pulteney Street, Argyle Street, Pulteney Bridge, Bridge Street, High Street, Cheap Street, Stall Street, York Street, Terrace Walk, Pierrepoint Street and Orange Grove.
The theme of this year’s Holburne Museum Lantern Procession is The Enchanted Forest.
During the procession, birds, beasts, trees and mythical creatures will travel from the Holburne through the streets of Bath to Parade Gardens.
