As ever the parade starts at the Wellwood at 5pm and processes down Queen Street into the Town Square.

This year the theme is Flights of Fancy – look out for an amazing array of fabulous face masks, lanterns, banners and flags.

The lanterns and masks workshops have been organised by Frances Anderson at Dry Water Arts.

Santa has also agreed to drop in to the Harbour Village from about 4pm.

Money for the workshops came from the Northumberland Cultural Fund and the Co-op Local Community Fund, and the event is organised by Amble Events Committee.
