The event on Sunday, July 26 saw street performers, stalls, fun and games, live music, children’s rides, vintage vehicles, and celebrity guest Timmy Mallett – best known from kids’ TV in the 1980s and ‘90s, along with appearances on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity.
Timmy took to the stage performing his number 1 hit Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini and hosting a few rounds of his ‘Mallett’s Mallet’ game.
This year’s carnival had the theme ‘once upon a time” – with the grand parade taking inspiration from classic storytelling.
An after-party was held at the Bacchus Hotel, where the winners from the vintage vehicle competition were handed trophies.
