Traditionally used in Asia for celebrations and festivals, many people release Wish Lanterns to symbolise the release of your worries and problems.

Wish Lanterns 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. From June 2010 we will also be selling our Eco Wish Lanterns which are 100% biodegrable - with no wire in them.

All you have to do is light the fuel cell and gaze as the Wish Lantern floats up into the night sky. Using the power of fire, the Wish Lantern will be in the air for about 12 minutes and go up over a mile in the air.

Wish Lanterns stand 108cm tall and 66cm wide at its widest point. After release and flight, the Wish Lantern will self-extinguish and float gently to the ground.

Please enjoy our website where you can purchase white wish lanterns, coloured wish lanterns, santa wish lanterns, wedding wish lanterns and even floating wish lanterns. If you have any questions please call 0845 500 1215 or email contact@wishlantern.co.uk.

Testimonials

"I ordered the wish lanterns for a Cub Scout bonfire and firework evening. They went down really well with the Cubs. We found your web- site through Google and will be recommending you to other friends and Scouting collegues. Thanks again for a prompt delivery and a good product.
- Gareth and Amanda (Cub and Scout Leaders) , 13th November

"The wish lanterns were a great success at our wedding in September. All the guests young and old were enthralled by them. It was a beautiful still, warm evening, perfect for watching them float up into the sky. We got married on a nature reserve so didn't want to, and weren't permitted to, disturb the wildlife with fireworks. The wish lanterns were a peaceful alternative."
- Sarah, 12th November

"Thank you for such quick handling of the order, the Wish lanterns have arrived today, ordered yesterday! They will be released in the night sky by a Chateau in the Dordogne River valley at the end of September."
- Meta Leslie, 31 July

"Everything arrived on time and in perfect order. We launch them at our wedding on the 19th and will let you know how it goes. Thanks so much for you promp service!"
- Matt Hoos, 10th September

"I ordered 10 multi-coloured wish lanterns by telephone for a very close friend who I knew would be delighted with them - we always aim for imaginative and special presents for each other's birthdays, so I was chuffed when I stumbled on these online. They arrived promptly the next day (as I had ordered), and she was absolutely thrilled! We lit one that evening to a toast to friendship and a glass of wine, and watched it sail into the air and gently blow over the town. It was beautiful, and so simple to use and enjoy. Thank you, Wish Lantern!"
- Michelle, 18th August

"I have used many many sky candles / wish lanterns etc in the past, some good and some bad. I bought 50 from this website as it was for a friends wedding and although they were a few pounds more expensive than another site I wanted guaranteed quality which this site seemed to claim. I was astounded by the excellent quality of the lanterns, the paper is thick so will be less likely to rip when being unfolded by champagne weary guests (lanterns not to be used whilst intoxicated by the way), the fuel cell is attached and unfolds a little which makes it much easier to light than normal fuel cells and they seem to be much bigger than the lanterns I have used previously. Excellent excellent product and fast delivery. Highly recommended.(give 5 stars), cheers, I'm very happy with the product - keep up the good work!"
- Hannah, 11th August

"Fantastic service! Dispatch was within 1 day and delivery very quick. I would definitely recommend buying with Wish Lantern."
- Mrs J Lakhani.

"My wish lanterns were perfect. None of my friends had seen one before and they were amazed at the 'launch'. A truly magical way to end a party."
- Kay Denton.

"Thank you very much for the speedy delivery, I will be taking them to Africa and will be lighting them in dedication of my Mother's fine and beautiful spirit on the anniversary of her sad passing."
-Suzanne, 13th August

"The Lanterns arrived prompt, they were superb, thank you very much. Everyone loved them.'
-Diane Harris, 7th August
