BRECON'S Canal Basin is to be lit to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal.

Members of the public can join in the celebrations by creating their own lantern in the Studio at Brecon's Theatr Brycheiniog between 5 and 6pm on Saturday, December 1.

The lanterns will then be lit in the basin, and along the canal, between 6 and 7pm.

The event will feature fire sculptures, live music and unique performances and seasonal refreshments.

Other communities along the canal will also be joining in and creating their own lanterns.
