Gorwell and Frankmarsh Lantern and Fancy Dress Parade

COLOURFULLY dressed lantern bearers took to the streets of Gorwell and Frankmarsh in Barnstaple on Friday evening to help bring a little light to the dark winter evenings.

The second annual Lantern and Fancy Dress Parade was organised by local police officers WPC Anna fielding and PCSO Steve Huxtable, plus Christine Brennan who runs the Children’s Summer Club.

The event was set up to promote the strong community spirit of the area — and to raise spirits at what is often one of the less appealing times of year!
