    I attended with @FullStopNextChapter and LOVED it too.  Beautiful event, and so different to anything I’ve seen before.  Other than the lack of a wee Scottish dug lantern it was perfect. :D

    I went last Sunday and loved it - thoroughly recommend it. There is a show at the end too with very talented artists. Time is running out - last day 25th February. I think as the days are getting longer, it is better to go at 6pm or later. You can find a discounted tickets online if you want to save a little money.
    Here are a few of my pictures:
