Upon This Rock
A celebration of Peterborough and its people, this spectacular musical lantern parade – part of the Peterborough Arts Festival – will be peopled by hundreds of local schoolchildren and their families, all travelling from four corners of the city to converge on Cathedral Square, filling the city centre with light, colour and sound.

The event will feature a performance of a specially commissioned score by composer Jonathan Baker (The Voice Project), and will take as its inspiration the idea of ‘home’, from the city’s history of migration, dating back through the housing schemes of the 1960s and as far back as the celebrated bronze-age boats.
