The free festive lantern trail organised by The Arts Charity at Dean Clough is running at the historic mill site every day through the rest of December.

The lanterns have been created by Frank Darnley, the artist behind Dean Clough’s iconic ram and phoenix sculptures, and each one is a cardboard creation of one of the site’s businesses.
