FEBRUARY | BIGGER PICTURE
Parade in
England
What: London New Years Parade
Where: Piccadilly
When: 1 January 2019
Organiser: Destination Events
Bob Bone, founder and executive director of destination
events ltd – organisers of London New Year’s Day Parade
& The Rome Parade, tells Access about the event’s
challenges
“The challenges are many and varied – being totally
self-financing and enormous – we fly around half of
our 8,000 performers from overseas (marching bands,
cheerleaders, illusionists etc) and have to get them, and
100 tonnes of equipment, into the country and clear of
customs over Christmas, which is no mean feat. The
sheer size of the crowd and supplying live TV pictures
around the World is a challenge that we embrace.
