Event Info

We are delighted to be taking part in Dover Winter Lantern Festival 2025!

Moving Memory will be performing at 3.40pm until 4pm in Pencester Gardens. We will share ‘The Moon on Their Wings’- a sparkling, co-created piece by our Dover and Folkestone Moving Well groups, full of their stories, their movements and lots of joy.

Now in its fifth year, Dover’s Winter Lantern Festival has become a cherished local tradition. Over the past four years, this magical event has inspired and uplifted the community through workshops, parades, and creative celebrations.

Dover Town Council, in partnership with Future Foundry, present the annual Winter Lantern Procession at 5.30pm on Saturday 6 December.

Between 3pm and 7.30pm, visitors can also enjoy the festive celebrations in Pencester Gardens and Dover Town Centre, with live entertainment, family activities, markets, the Dover Town Christmas Tree and the light trail decorations.
