In need of some community spirit this weekend?

The Community Brain along with students from Kingston University are holding a procession this weekend to 'shine a light' on Kingston's candle-making heritage and remember the borough's lamplighters.

Holding lanterns made by local children, the procession will start from the location of the town's old candle shop before making its way towards the town museum.

The procession will start from Kingston Marketplace at 17:30.

For firm believers that Thursday is the new Friday, come down for an exclusive Late Night View with Lyndsay Russell, a featured artist of Creative Flow: Kingston, Art & the River. 

The exhibition showcases the role of the River Thames as a major source of creative inspiration in Kingston from the seventeenth century to the present – a history that includes Turner and the Pre-Raphaelites.

Russell's own bronze sculptures and river-inspired silk Aqua Nebula provide the contemporary flourish to the exhibition.

The late-night view at Kingston Museum will start at 6pm on Thursday, while the exhibition is on view until 13 April 2024.
