The Now Infamous Wish Lantern SaleTraditionally used in Asia for celebrations and festivals, many people release CHINESE LANTERNS to symbolise the release of their worries and problems.

CHINESE LANTERNS from Wish Lantern are 99% biodegradable, non-flammable and safe and easy to use, and create an amazing visual effect that adds enjoyment and wonder to any special occasion.


All you have to do is light the fuel cell, wait for the lanterns to fill up with hot air and then let go. You and your guests will gaze as the Wish Lantern floats up to the sky. Using the power of fire, the CHINESE LANTERNS will be in the air for about 12 minutes and go up over a mile in the air.




CHINESE LANTERNS from Wish Lantern stand 108cm (42.5 inches) tall and 66cm (26 inches) wide at its widest point. After release and flight, the Wish Lantern will self-extinguish and float gently to the ground. New in stock this season are our range of Halloween lanterns, floating wish lanterns and Santa Lanterns.
