The Remembrance Parade will take place on Sunday 12 November 2023 in Melton Mowbray town centre.

Residents are invited to come and show their support to the Armed Forces and recognise their sacrifices, past and present, by watching the parade.

The parade will commence in Chapel Street car park at 10.20am and will head down King Street, Sage Cross Street, Sherrard Street and Church Street to St Mary’s Parish Church for a service starting at 10:50am.

Following the church service at St Mary’s, the parade will re-form at 11:50am in Burton Street and march down Leicester Street, past the dais in the Market Place to the Memorial Gardens where wreaths will be laid in a small ceremony.
