    I found information for the parade down the community center. The parade kicks off at around 3.30pm.
    Other activities include the "Paddys Day Welly Run" 2.30 in the market square. If you'd like to participate you must bring your wellies. Sponsorship cards are available. Proceeds go to the runners chosen charity

    There is a Busking Competition on from 2pm to 3.30 PM. Three age categories u12, u18 & 18 plus. Prizes on the Day.

    Other activities include Bouncy castle, face painting and welly throwing

    the biffos usually go mad about the parade questioning why they should bother to be involved because it never goes near them i.e it never crosses the bridge. maybe if some of them get involved that might change. look forward to seeing ye all singing and dancing down mainstreet.
