DECORATION DAYS
WEDNESDAY 9TH APRIL TO FRIDAY MORNING 11TH APRIL 2025
Always wanted to see how a float is decorated? Decoration takes place over three days in a large local hall where you can see hundreds of volunteers decorating the floats with fragrant, colourful, spring bulb flowers including hyacinths, daffodils and tulips.
The flowers are pinned to the floats via a special technique called 'staking'. If you are lucky you may get the opportunity to try for yourself. How exciting to actually see your own handiwork passing by on the parade.
