A magical event at Crook Hall Gardens National Trust celebrating all that is good in society and demonstrating what can be acheived when people work together. Unity, Kindness, Love all in the name of HOPE🫂
Absolutely wonderful (quite literally), full of wonder, joy, Love, tears and HOPE. Thank you so much for all who brought their lanterns and their hearts to the RTMinds Lanterns of Hope!#mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #suicideprevention #hope #durham
RTMinds is partnering with The National Trust at Crook Hall Gardens for Lanterns of Hope 2026🏮🎐✨
This annual event brings communities together each year to create beautiful willow-and-tissue lanterns that illuminate the gardens in celebration of hope across County Durham. All lanterns were created by local community groups at workshops hosted by RTMinds.
This is a free event, but tickets are limited so booking is essential. Click the link in our bio or email [email protected] to reserve a spot!
The creativity and talent of the people who come along to The Open Art Surgery never ceases to amaze at RT Minds! Here's a recent lino print by @mr_s_o_shams_art
