On Saturday 12 November 2016 the Compton Verney Lantern Parade happened as part of the Light-In project. Arts Uplift provided the visual artists Fran Godwin and Lisa Broughton to run lantern making workshops with 3 youth clubs in the area, Wellesbourne, Lillington and Shipston. They were tasked with creating something based on Capability Brown and the landscape of Compton Verney.
The young people created all sorts of animals and Lisa Broughton was commissioned to create a centre piece which was a beautiful tawny owl! The young people thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were amazed by the colourful lighting of the building and the fire breathers and dance artists. Thanks to Fran Godwin for some of the photos.
