These lantern-making workshops are a standout feature of the iconic Dunedin Midwinter Carnival (12–13 June 2026), and a favourite experience for many families.
It takes 1-2 hours to make a lantern and all materials and instructions are provided on-site. Children under 15 are required to have a parent in attendance. You can find us on the ground floor of the Meridian Mall - beside the Hanover Street Entrance.
Your lantern is your ticket to this year's event. All lanterns made in this year's workshop give you 1 FREE entry to attend the Carnival AND be a part of one of our processions!
The ticket price covers about half the cost of running these workshops with the remainder covered by our generous sponsor Meridian Mall.
