Handmade Parade brings artists into communities to create parades, festivals and stunning celebrations. Every year this event brings together fantastic talented and generous teams of professional carnival artists, puppeteers, makers, musicians, stilt walkers and performers based around Todmorden, Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire, England. Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade was started in 2008 by Andrew Kim, a puppeteer who specialises in giant puppets and large-scale community performances.
