Parade Route
Play outside Parkhouse to begin with, then turn right into Ergue-Gaberic Way and left by the Fire Station, turn right towards the Lock Gate Café, right again to pass behind the Bandstand, in front of the Castle, down towards Bude Light, turn left in front of the Recreation Ground and on to the grass area north of Bude Methodist Church.
​
The Brolly Parade will be judged here, and the band will play for half an hour or so.
​
From here turn left back towards the Wharf area, past the Fire Station and turn left along the Wharf, in front of the Olive Tree, turn right over Falcon Bridge (keeping to the northbound lane), and straight on to the Brendon, where the band will play some more.
