Back to Ours Christmas Card Parade

The Back to Ours Christmas Parade runs across four nights in four areas of Hull; Southcoates, Greatfield, Orchard Park & North Hull, and Derringham.

A beautifully-illuminated parade of vehicles and colourful characters travel through back roads and streets, encouraging people to wrap up, come out, and join in the festive magic – from waving from bedroom windows, to standing at the bottom of the garden with a brew and gathering together with friends, family and neighbours to have a Winter Parade party – it’s all about getting in the Christmas spirit and bringing people together.

We don’t want to give it all away. Still, you’ll see beautifully-lit vintage cars, an open-top bus, characters on bikes, illuminated characters, Victorian people and the green Land Train all travelling down your street. There’ll also be music, and you’ll recognise people from the front of the Christmas Card as they pass.

The parade is full of music and lights so it will be very loud and bright. You can’t miss us!

We made a beautiful animation of the story with artist Lydia Caprani, which you can watch on our YouTube – we’re excited for you to see these characters brought to life!
