  • More Music Winter by Robin Zahler

    More Music - For the past 17 years More Music has organised the Winter Lantern Festival with its lantern parade through the streets of the West End of Morecambe. It has been a magical and memorable start to the festive season for residents and school children, a true community celebration.

    This year in its place, More Music has taken on the challenge of lighting up the West End in a different way, creating a project and an outdoor, COVID-19 safe spectacle for anyone passing to enjoy. Keeping the Winter Lantern Festival flame alight, More Music has worked with local artists to decorate the windows of its building with a beautiful lighthouse illuminated from the inside every day from 4 – 8pm, and the results are fabulous.

    The installation is made from different kinds of paper and it features a street scene, representing the houses around More Music. The lovely windows of the houses have been made by children from West End Primary school.
