This was our second time at the Fratton Festival of Light and this year was bigger and lighter than 2018! The theme was under the sea and there were some fantastic lanterns on display including the beautiful jellyfish made by us last month. The Beavers had the honour of parading those!

Louisa, Rachel, Jen (with Alice), Lynn and I all donned hi viz and helped hand out lanterns before joining the parade all the way up Fratton Road from the bridge to St Mary's.

Judy and Tracey took the indoor option and were in the church making tea and handing out orders of service respectively.

There were lots of happy faces, everyone got to the church on time and we collected some coins for Fratton Big Local as well.

Good work team!
