The event is organised by the Wheelbarrow Club, formally known as the Corperation of St Pancras, which is the oldest social dining club in the country.
Around 50 people are expected to take part in the procession this year, according to Paul Willard, mayor of the club.

Morris dancers will also accompany the procession through the city.
The club will present a cheque to councillor Richard Ploughman, the mayor of Chichester, towards his charity of the year.
