A series of parades are set to close roads across Barking and Dagenham later this month.

Art organisation Creative Barking and Dagenham is running a series of Winter Light Parades across the borough this November, involving light boxes, performers and "lively" music.

Four free events will take place in total, led by street theatre company Picto Facto, known for their giant inflatable puppets.

These are the road closures we know about so far for three of the parades, with most closures only in place for a short amount of time as the procession passes.

Becontree Estate/Valence community parade - November 19

The Becontree Estate parade will run on Tuesday, November 19 from 6.30pm until 7.30pm, starting at Valence House Museum.

There will be a rolling closure in place in Margery Road westbound through to Henshaw Road, Valence Wood Road and Aylmer Road. 

The procession will then close the entirety of Valence Circus, looping around clockwise to return to Valence House Museum down the same roads.

Marks Gate community parade - November 21

The Marks Gate parade will run on Thursday, November 21 from 6.30pm until 7.30pm, starting at Marks Gate Community & Family Hub.
