HUNDREDS of lanterns will be launched on Coate Water next month.
The event, which begins at 2pm on August 9, is in aid of World Peace Day.
It takes place on the anniversary of the explosion of atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Last year more than 800 lanterns were launched.
This is the 14th year the event has taken place at Coate Water.
Each kit, from which the lanterns are made, costs £1.50. Participants are advised to bring a torch and to meet by the marquee near the activity centre. The lanterns will be lit at 9.30pm.
