This is open to everybody and we simply ask that you wear your club colours such as playing shirts, hoodies, jackets and ties. This includes family members and we ask all children are escorted by a parent.

We would like to assemble a group that would represent all ages and genders from our under 5s, vets and former players. This year we will be lead by Wild Geese Captain Rory Harrison who will fly the flag and lead our entry.

We assemble at Hyde Park Corner for 11:30 and the Parade starts at 12:00.

If you can join us, please register your interest by emailing eventsliarfc@yahoo.com

We will be publishing further information soon. To see what the day looks like, click here

Now in its 19th year, the Mayor of London’s St. Patrick’s festival in Trafalgar Square is the largest celebration of Irish culture and community in London. It has been built upon a robust foundation of tradition, inclusivity and diversity and a sincere appreciation for the perspectives of different generations. It is a pinnacle event in London's cultural calendar that showcases the best of Irish arts, performance, culture, food, and music from both Britain and Ireland.

On Sunday 13 March 2022 the annual historic parade will also take place. It attracts more than 50,000 people for a colourful procession of Irish marching bands from the UK, US and Ireland, dance troupes and pageantry. It starts at Hyde Park Corner, then travels through Piccadilly, St James’s Street, Pall Mall, Cockspur Street and Whitehall.
