Vintage Sunday
Parade
Sunday 2 August | 3pm
Something NEW is rolling into the parade this year!
Alongside our amazing display of vintage vehicles, we’re inviting YOU to take part in a fun new way with Bikes and Barrows!
No need for a big float… just grab a wheelbarrow or bike, decorate it your way, and join the fun. Go simple or go all out , it’s completely up to you!
Open to everyone: families, friends, clubs, shops, and businesses.
Promote your business, support a cause, or just get creative and enjoy the day!
Cash prizes up for grabs for the most creative entries!
Register for your chance to win and be part of something special.
Please Note
There is a size restriction on float rigs - Articulated Lorries no longer permitted and all floats are required to have 12 inches ground clearance. The turn at Market Square is very tight .
Registration will take place from between 12-3pm at the Marian Hall (R42 FX03). You can print off and pre-fill your registration form (click the REGISTER HERE button for more info)

AFTER PARADE ENTERTAINMENT
After Parade Entertainment
There will be a host of walk about performers to entertain you after the parade, with a fabulous aerial show
Now and Then
What happens when socialmedia-obsessed-aerialinst and model Pookie and nononsense hardy older lady Nancy share the same space? “Now and Then” is the unlikely friendship between Pookie (Lidija Šola), and Nancy (Noelle Ní Riagáin). Featuring an 8 metre freestanding aerial rig, the show is a generational clash, filled with slapstick comedy, aerial acrobatics and a heartwarming story of connection in a digital world.
