PARADE & PERFORMANCES
Fri 3 Nov 2023 6.00pm
NB if you are visiting Basingstoke to attend it, parking is available in Festival Place. But both sites are very near the train station and 5 or 10 minutes walk from the station. The address of the start of the parade is Willows Coffee House, 37 Church St, Basingstoke, RG21 7QQ, although we would ask you join it just a bit further on say outside the Willis Museum.
And the address of the performance is the Amphitheatre, Festival Place, Basingstoke, RG21 7BB. This is just outside Festival Place via the cinema exit.
