The fundraiser is part of Grumpy’s ongoing commitment to the Lantern Parade in Farsley.

Proceeds from the event will directly support the parade which will take place during Farsley’s Lights Switch On scheduled for Wednesday, November 26, 2026. The lantern parade starts at 6:15pm from Farsley Library.

Grumpy’s has been a proud supporter of the Lantern Parade, with 2026 being the fourth year that they have facilitated the creation of the huge illuminated willow puppets, calling it an “amazingly wholesome community project.”

Following the family fundraiser, Grumpy’s will host a Drunk Assembly Sing-Along at St John’s Church in Farsley on the same evening, Friday, September 25, 2026 at 7pm.

This lively event will be led by 30 members of Farsley Love Pop Choir, promising an entertaining night full of sing-along fun and community spirit.

Expect a licensed bar, wood fired pizza and a night of nostalgic primary school bangers and pop anthems!
