The parade will start at Westlegate, near John Lewis, at 9pm and last around an hour and 20 minutes, ending up at The Forum.
Mo and the Red Ribbon explores the experience of migration from a child’s perspective, offering an ultimately optimistic look at the world we inhabit and those we share it with.
