Night-time lantern parade by Creatures of The Redway held at the Newton Leys Pavilion in Milton Keynes.
Night Time Creatures of The Redway is a lantern parade taking place at Newton Leys Pavilion on Saturday 14 November. It's a night-time event, so the lanterns will be out in the dark, and the whole thing centres on the Creatures of The Redway theme.
The parade starts from the pavilion, with the lanterns carried along the Redway, one of the city's many shared-use paths. If you've spent any time in Milton Keynes, you know the Redways are the arteries that run through the estates, and seeing them lit up by a procession of lanterns is a different experience from the usual commute. The Creatures of The Redway theme puts the focus on the wildlife and creatures that share those paths, so the lanterns themselves are built around that.
It's a community affair, and the parade is open to anyone who wants to take part. The lanterns are the main feature, and they're carried through the evening as part of the procession. It's the kind of thing that works best when you're actually in it, walking with the lights rather than just watching from the side.

The parade runs from 4:00 to 6:00pm at Newton Leys Pavilion in Milton Keynes, so it's a late-afternoon start that carries through into the early evening, just as it's getting dark enough for the lanterns to really show. If you're planning to join in, you'll want to be there for the start.
