The wait is almost over for Liverpool One’s first-ever Toy Parade.
On Saturday, November 15, the streets around the city’s landmark retail development will be filled with festive characters, music, and special visitors.
Created and produced by outdoor arts specialists Walk the Plank, the parade will take over Liverpool One with dancing toys, glittering decorations, and shimmering lights, together with star appearances from some of the region’s most talented youngsters.
The 40-minute parade will take place at 1pm, 3pm, and 5pm, and will include decorations hand-crafted by those children and young people taking part, created especially for the event.
Jennifer Hanley, a fundraiser at Claire House, said: “As Liverpool One’s Charity of the Year, we are very excited to be involved in the Toy Parade.
“Some of the children who come to the hospice have made their own decorations and can’t wait to show them off.
“Any awareness raised, both from the event and throughout the partnership, will help us reach more local babies, children and young adults who need our support from our sites in Liverpool and Wirral.”
The Toy Parade marks the start of the festive programme of events at Liverpool One with visitors able to enjoy a full range of activities including Festive Thursdays, a Christmas Trail, a Big Advent Giveaway and the chance to post letters to Santa.
