Lantern Trail

Discover 10 lantern displays across Maidstone town centre as part of the Light Up Festival Lantern Trail.

Each lantern has been uniquely designed and is located at key venues and public spaces, creating a self-guided trail that can be enjoyed by all ages. The displays light up the town throughout February, encouraging visitors to explore Maidstone, discover local places, and enjoy the town after dark.

The lanterns will be on display from 10–28 February, forming part of the wider Light Up Festival and February’s Month of Wellbeing.

Follow the trail, take your time, and enjoy the creativity and atmosphere across the town.

"I am writing just to express my gratitude to the one Maidstone team as since I have had the security radio installed into my store myself and my team feel so much safer during our opening times and they have responded to my calls of need and supported us dealing with challenging situations and retrieving stolen stock."

"We are very thankful for the support we received from the Ambassador Tema from shoplifting to ASB issues, they are always a stones throw away and will always deal with the situation in hand with so much professionalism. It’s clear to see how dedicated and passionate they are about there job roles within One Maidstone. The town would not be the same without them."
