Derbyshire Wildlife Trust will host a lantern workshop at its Whistlestop Centre in Matlock Bath on Saturday, January 19.

The workshop shows you how to bend willow to make a star or other shape and then cover it with tissue to make a lantern. The lanterns can then be decorated with patterns from nature that can be drawn or collected from around the centre.
