Handmade Parade are holding a Spark Day on Saturday 11 March from 2.00pm-3.30pm at the parade workshops in Victoria Road. Come and help us dream up our 10th annual Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade!

What themes are on your mind this year? What would you like to see on the streets of Hebden Bridge? What costume have you always wanted to make?

Each year, we start the designing process at this Spark Day meeting to make sure everyone has a say on the theme and design of the parade. So bring you favourite ideas--the bigger and crazier, the better!

Everyone is welcome and we’d like as many people as possible to come along with their bright ideas – the crazier the better! Artistic Director of Handmade Parade, Andrew Kim, invites you to join in, saying, “The parade has become one of the most important fixtures. The fantastic ideas for our events come from the community and we cannot do this without them. I encourage everyone to come along and give us your ideas, we could just build it for you”.
