MORE than 500 children piled into Art with a Heart on Saturday to get creative for the most festive day in Altrincham’s calendar.

The George Street centre hosted Lantern Workshops for those wishing to participate in the town’s Lantern Parade on November 21.

Families got a chance to make their own lanterns and proudly showed off their colourful creations in the parade, which was led by Captain Christmas and his Merry Band, to the Christmas Lights Switch On in Stamford Quarter.

Youngsters and volunteers captured all the fun of the day on video – see if you can spotted your loved ones here.
