The marching route is along Bethel Street and around Town Hall Square.

Organised by many volunteers from Huddersfield Lions, the contest is a fundraiser that helps the Lions support important causes all year round.

From distributing Easter hampers and recycling spectacles for developing countries, to offering PSA blood tests for prostate cancer awareness, the Lions are active across Kirklees and Calderdale.

“We’re proud to host this much-loved event,” said Hannah Lee, President of the Huddersfield Lions.

“It brings people together, showcases fantastic local talent, and raises awareness of the work we do. It’s also a brilliant opportunity to invite new people to join us.”
