Get ready for a Dragon Parade at Pontefract Castle!

Join Ilbert and friends for a relaxed, SEND-friendly session of crafts and activities. Meet a cast of magical characters.

Meet at the bandstand on the bailey from 10am. Staff will share more details about all the exciting activities on offer. 

SEND families are welcome at all of our sessions. We are also running this SEND session for those families who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere.

SEND sessions must be pre-booked to manage numbers. Book SEND session: Dragon Parade activities.

We also have a drop-in version of this event on the same day Thursday 2 April (11am to 3pm). The Dragon Parade will start at 2pm. This is usually very busy (weather dependent).
