POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Today we’ve been ERUPTING into Carnforth on behalf of Lancaster culture fund! This was a song about hydrating for our new friend big Dave. Was interesting to run into so many people who’ve heard about us being out and about this week. Look out for us tomorrow in Heysham!

Another magical weekend at Yuletide for the Magic Lantern crew. Please share any photos you have- we’re not very good at capturing what we do once the wonderful audiences have arrived! #glitteringtrail #yuletideattatton
