Each year, the communities of Kidbrooke organise a non religious festival celebrating light in the midst of winter darkness.
Young people create decorations for the trees in Telemann Square in the Ferrier housing estate and these provide the backdrop for an evening lantern parade, live music, fireworks and food served in the Community Hall.
In recent years, the event has grown in size and ambition. Many individuals and organisations take an active role in helping to organise the event.
This year, these included: Thomas Tallis School, Greenwich Community College, Holy Family School, Holy Spirit Church, The Greenwich Food Co-operative, Greenwich Council, Emergency Exit Arts, The Ferrier Cultural Centre, Kidbrooke Vietnamese Chinese Supplementary School, Southern Housing Group, Greenwich Youth for Christ, The Ferrier Safer Neighbourhood Team and Berkeley Homes.
The Ferrier Estate is undergoing a massive regeneration programme and it is vital the existing and new communities of this part of London have regular opportunities to meet and celebrate together.
