The willow for the Shepton Mallet Lantern Festival lanterns comes from Musgrove Willows on the Somerset Levels.

On Sunday December 8 Ellen and Mike Musgrove will visit the Lantern Festival workshop and demonstrate how to make a willow rose knot, used for holding the willow bundles together.

The Shepton Mallet Lantern Festival's 10th anniversary parade takes place on Saturday December 21 at 5pm from Collett Park.
