How to get involved in our Autumn parades
We have 2 lantern parades this year, our usual noisy community parade in Lister Park on 30th October from 4.30pm and our Northcliffe Parade on 14th November from 5pm, a quieter more reflective parade where we have opportunities to remember loved ones. These form our wider ‘Festivals of the Dead’ project, in partnership with Uni of Bradford, Bradford Death Cafes and Cecil Green Arts.
***There are lots of ways you can make lanterns for either of these events.
Death cafe style conversation and making workshops in City library and Shipley library. Check out ‘Cecil Green Arts’ on Eventbrite to book.
