Many thanks to @nigelplantphotography for sharing Many thanks to @nigelplantphotography for sharing these gorgeous photos from @happyvalleypride Decade Parade. It’s especially lovely to see the new artworks created by different teams. The Gardener and Otter were made in a masterclass with @andrewkimpuppets of @thingumatheatre - an international team of artists have worked their socks off to create these two beauties in such a short time frame. They were a huge hit with the audience, well done to all involved! Also making a debut appearance was our @davidhoyleuniversal inspired character, created by a brilliant team of volunteers from @happyvalleypride - it brought so much joy to the parade, if ever a puppet was made for strutting, it was this one!😂 Thanks so much to the many teams and individuals who worked with us to make the parade such an inclusive, fun day out. Families, community groups, stewards, volunteers, everyone at @happyvalleypride - You’re all MARVELLOUS ❤️🌈 #hebdenbridge #pride #prideparade #calderdale #parade
🌈It’s almost time for the @happyvalleypride Decade 🌈It’s almost time for the @happyvalleypride Decade Parade! Really looking forward to dancing through the streets of Hebden Bridge this Saturday, 25th July🌈 We’ll be setting off from near the Medical Centre on Valley Rd, shortly after 11am. Then we’ll head through town via Bridge Gate and Holme St, finishing in the park. The fun doesn’t end there, come to the park and enjoy The Big Day Out, running from 12-6:30pm. Full details on @happyvalleypride socials. See you there! PS, to answer a few questions - no this isn’t our usual “Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade”, but we’ve helped community members to make some gorgeous costumes and there will be NEW PUPPETS! Yaay! So it’s very similar to the normal parade, but a much smaller version. And all about PRIDE, obviously. Definitely bringing the usual joy❤️
