| Event Name: | Bankside Winter Festival |
| Description: | The winter market will be made up of 40-50 quality arts and crafts stalls, selling those last minute stocking fillers including handmade jewellery, fine ceramics, wooden Christmas crafts, leather goods and other beautiful handcrafted accessories. There will also be several outlets selling festive food to keep you warm and a main bar serving mulled wine and ale.
In celebration of the history of the area and the fairs that took place on a frozen Thames hundred of years ago, referred to as the Frost Fairs, the winter market opens with a Frost Fair-themed lantern parade on Friday 12th December at 4:30pm. With approximately 270 local school children taking part, the parade will bring to life aspects of the Frost Fair with lanterns the shape of ice-skaters, dancing bears and roasted chestnut sellers and much more. The lantern parade will end outside Tate Modern, where a Frost Fair lantern scene will be assembled and will remain on display for the entirety of the festival.
