Preparations for Hop-Tu-Naa are now well underway in the village, with staff laying on a raft of festive activities across the week, from lantern carving to singing traditional songs.

The celebrations will culminate on Sunday (31 Oct), with live music, dancing, storytelling and a grand turnip lantern parade all planned.
