It starts at 1.30pm from Max Roach, Wiltshire Road – reaching the park at 2.30pm where there'll be much more to enjoy at our Autumn Fair. Want to star in the parade? Email us (spots are limited) Myatt's Autumn Fair When the parade hits the park at 2.30pm, Myatt's will come alive with music, food, face painting and more. Try out your favourite Strictly moves to a live salsa band, donate and take away free stuff from the Bring and Take stall, and enter our cake competition. Submit your carnival-style cakes by 3.30pm on the day. The best hot choc in town Warm, creamy, chocolately, delicious. We think The Little Cat Cafe serves up the most indulgent hot chocolate going. But that's for you to judge. Nip down to the park and treat yourself to one – and let us know if you agree. We recommend giving the oat milk version a whirl. Welcome Rajia and Fabrice!
