Grab your lanterns, masks and glowsticks to help bring Wanstead alive in a grand spectacle of puppets led by The Lantern Company.
Take a moment to honour your loved ones and join the celebration of life – with Las Muertas stilt walkers and music from Pablo Aguilar’s Mariachi Band.
The Wanstead Procession will gather inside the library 30 minutes before the start of the event.

Calaveras (skulls) feature prominently in the Day of the Dead. People often wear skull make-up or masks and make skulls from sugar to place on altars. Come and decorate a cheeky skull mask to wear in the parade.

Traditionally on the Day of the Dead, graves are decorated and ofrenda (altars) are made to remember loved ones who have died. These displays include objects, food and drink that were much enjoyed by the deceased.
Draw or write about the things you’d want on your ofrenda or tell us about someone who has died and a memory you have of them.

Having the WORST DAY EVER? Turn that frown upside down with this wiggling, hooting, roaring adventure based on the picture book by Sophy Henn.
Arthur is having the WORST DAY EVER. So he runs away – nearly to the end of the garden.
But when it’s time to go home, Arthur’s journey back is full of surprises and he learns how to turn a stomp into a skip, a huff into a hoot and a roar into a song!
Maybe Arthur’s day isn’t so bad after all…
Directed by Naomi Cortes and designed by Hannah Sharp for Discover Children’s Story Centre.
