Hoyland Remembrance Parade Updated Route for 2026!

No major changes but as already detailed we will now march from the war memorial all the way around the Hoyland one way system and back on ourselves to end the parade at the rear car park of the Belmont WMC.

Drinks and refreshments will be served in their main function room after the parade.

As promised the new Hoyland Poppies ready for this years Poppy display.

They are made of lightweight and durable materials which makes them easier to put up and we hope will last the test of time.

A further huge thank you to the community for assisting in fundraising for these they will look amazing around Hoyland this year.

Do keep an eye on the page for when these will go up as volunteers are welcome to help on installation day!

As you all know we have been actively raising funds to replace the hoyland poppy display. We are really proud of the local support to replace these and we can confirm that we raised enough to actually replace them! We were short of our £2000 target but we scraped it together in time!
We have just received them and we are so over the moon with how they turned out! We will share some pictures soon!
That being said we still have a lot of wooden poppies left. So if you’d like one, do get in contact, we would still ask for a donation if you’re willing but it isn’t a requirement.
The aim now is to ensure as many members of the public that want them or want to put them outside theirs homes, garden etc have opportunity to do.
These will only be available until the poppy appeal starts in a weeks time as we don’t raise funds related to these during this period.
