and live on Freeview channel 276
Last year’s Halifax Christmas Parade was a massive success, seeing hordes of people flock to enjoy an awesome spectacle of beautifully-crafted light-up puppets and lanterns, a troupe of dancing elves and stomping music.
After a day of festive entertainment around the town – which included characters from the pantomimes at Victoria Theatre and Viaduct Theatre, face-painting and more - the parade set off from Woolshops and made its way through part of the town centre to The Piece Hall.
