Lightwaves: Lumens of the Lost
Important Update for Lightwaves: Sutton-on-Sea
Sadly, due to safety concerns caused by the stormy weather forecast, we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel the Lightwaves evening finale in Sutton-on-Sea tomorrow (Saturday 24 October).
However, bringing people together and supporting our local communities remains at the heart of Story Tellers, so we will still be holding a daytime event in Sutton-on-Sea centre on the day, from 11am to 1pm.
This smaller scale event will be designed more for local residents than something to travel to, and will feature lantern displays at the Methodist Church, a silent disco and more, offering the community an opportunity to still enjoy some Lightwaves magic during the day.
We're sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment, but hope you can understand the reasons for this difficult decision. Please keep an eye on Story Tellers’ social media channels for further information and updates.

Lightwaves: Lumens of the Lost will travel through Spilsby, Chapel St Leonards, Sandilands and Sutton-on-Sea, with each location bringing its own stories and experiences to the journey.
