...happens the day after the last St.Patrick's Day.

In Nottingham the main organiser of the 9 year old parade is Elaine Marren. Along with her committee and volunteers the planning of the Nottingham parade and open-air concert is gaining momentum. St. Patrick's Day in Nottingham is now one of the main cultural events of the year and the new Market Square is an ideal space to receive the parade and spacious enough to accommodate the open-air concert. Headlining the parade this year will be local Showbands like the Trinity School Band and the concert will be headlined by Irish & Country star Philomena Begley with lots of local entertainment.

But the logistics of security, staging, lighting & sound, crowd management etc have to be planned for. If you would like to volunteer to help make this year's celebrations a success (or if you would just like some more information) please contact us .
