We’ve had few enquiries about our summer parade

We’ve had few enquiries about our summer parade plans, so thought we’d take a moment to let you know how things stand. Short answer - we can’t currently afford to have one, unfortunately. We’re gutted and we miss you all. For the longer answer, here’s a message from the team:

“Handmade Productions love working with our community in Hebden Bridge and the wider Calderdale area to put on the Handmade Parade. The spectacle that is the parade forms an essential part of the origins of our organisation and we’re proud of every parade we’ve put on over the years.
As such we would love to put on a parade every year, however it costs in the region of £60,000 - £80,000 to do this. These costs include paying the many talented artists and freelancers who help us deliver the parade as well as the materials, administration and planning that goes into putting on the event. It’s not just a one-day event, we work for months in the build up, including weeks of community engagement workshops to include as many people as possible.
We always do our best every year to secure the funding we need to be able to put on the event and the team work hard applying and putting in bids, however with the funding pressure facing arts organisations across the country there is much competition. To ensure Handmade Productions remains a viable ongoing organisation it is not possible for us to put on the parade without securing external funding. We will of course let our supporters know if we are successful (keep your fingers crossed and eyes peeled to our social media for announcements) but in the meantime we wanted to let everyone know the situation we are facing.”

We’re working with lovely groups in Accrington to make some gorgeous new artworks. Check out this batik flag, beautifully made by the AWWAZ women’s group.

The image is based on a Tiffany glass design in the Haworth Art Gallery in Accrington. Did you know it holds the largest collection of Tiffany glass in Europe?! You do now! Well worth a visit.
