Help Me Choose The Right Size Lantern

Our lanterns come in a range of sizes. To help you compare them, we've pictured them alongside some more common objects below!

How to Hang Your Lanterns

Lanterns will arrive flat-packed with metal expanders. Putting them up is very simple - just insert the expander and the lantern is ready to hang (we'll pop a leaflet in with the order showing what to do!).

For more information, see our FAQ's on How To Put Up Your Paper and Nylon Lanterns

Lanterns are lightweight and easy to hang with our transparent Hanging Line or ribbon.

For marquees, we have clear Hanging Clips for speedy clipping to the lining.

Lighting Your Lanterns

Lanterns look great both with or without lighting (or with some lit and some unlit!).

Hang them gently on lines of low-voltage LED Christmas fairy lights (make sure the lights do not emit any heat and are safe to use in the position you want them) or attached to festoon lights.

Alternatively, our individual Lantern Lights are battery-operated and give the lantern a gentle glow (hang a light onto the hook in the centre of each lantern).

Care Information

Paper lanterns are delicate, so take care when putting them up to avoid tearing the paper.

Nylon lanterns are showerproof; however, they won't survive storms and their colours will fade in bright sunshine - so don't leave them permanently outside! Make sure they are completely dry before storing them away.

Never use tealights, candles or naked flames with any of our lanterns.

Safety tested to comply with BS EN 60598.
