Lanterns and Legends
Prepare to enter a world of moonlit seas, mysterious lights and magical legends as Serenia the Sea Witch welcomes families aboard HMS Trincomalee for a Halloween adventure. Hear tales of strange lights glowing across the water, then unleash your creativity to make a magical lantern to guide you safely home through the darkness.
The sea is full of stories… but do you dare to discover them?
This Halloween, step aboard HMS Trincomalee and enter a world of Lanterns and Legends with Serenia the Sea Witch. Gather close as Serenia weaves spellbinding tales of mysterious lights, strange happenings and secrets from the sea. But beware, not every light you see in the darkness may be what it seems!
For centuries, sailors have looked to lights to help them navigate the seas. From lanterns aboard ships to lights guiding vessels through dark waters, these small points of light could be a welcome sight on a long and mysterious voyage. Perhaps some of the strange lights seen by sailors over the years even helped inspire the legends that continue to be told today.
After hearing Serenia’s tales, continue your adventure and create a magical lantern of your very own. With paper, glue, colour and plenty of sparkle, families can design a unique light to brighten the darkness and guide them safely home.
Will your lantern glow like a distant light on the horizon, a magical beacon for passing sailors, or something altogether more mysterious?
Lanterns and Legends is delivered by Theatre Space North East.
