Year 7, 8 and 10 pupils at Woodlands Academy have been working with organisers the Different Light Collective to illuminate the town on Saturday, March. 7.

Visual artist, Nadya Monfrinoli, is one of two creatives who have been working their way around local schools to develop lanterns for a light parade at the event, based upon a stars and moon theme.

A spokesman for the Academy said: "Woodlands pupils were delighted to have the opportunity to create their own star lanterns, which they are excited to showcase at the event.

"Working with Nadya and Bruce Knight, a member of the Different Light Collective, they did some amazing work to produce their own elements of light for the event.

"After creating two stars from sticks and tape, they worked the stars into a 3D shape, adding a light, before sticking paper-mâché over the stars."

As well as projections and lighting on the front of the Sessions House, the Methodist Church and other buildings in town, there will also be an ‘Illumaphonium’ for members of the public to have a go on near the statue of Sir John Franklin.
