Handmade Parade CIC creates bold, colourful events through a unique coming-together of professional parade artists and community participation. Since the first annual parade in Hebden Bridge in 2008, we've generated a riot of stunning procession and pageant art, including giant puppets, stilt walkers, animatronics, a samba band, a parade band, masks, costumes and lanterns.

Handmade Parade brings carnival to the streets! Through everyone-welcome workshops, people get a unique chance to join in, learn lots of hands-on skills, have fun, and celebrate in the streets and festivals.
