Hunstanton Carnival 2024

They say
3^rd time’s a charm!!

For
Hunstanton Town Events Team, it really is….

 “The events team are planning the biggest carnival
in Hunstanton since lockdown”.

The carnival has always been a wonderful family event and
brought much enjoyment to all that attend. Chairman for Hunstanton Town
Council’s Town Events Team Cllr Mark Williamson says “when the idea of
bringing back the carnival was born in 2022, we were all nervous about the
reception it would receive.  Needless to
say, it was a great success, and each year we have tried to improve.  Last year we saw crowds rise to over 2000
attendees, which is fabulous for our seaside town and brought many new visitors
to the town.  This year, with the help of
our friends at KL1 Radio, Lynx & The Borough Council of King’s Lynn, we are
bringing a 3 Day event to showcase Hunstanton and it’s talent.”

Here are the plans so far…

It all starts on Friday 21^st June – with live
bands performing on stage at the green from 4pm.

Saturday - The team from KL1 Radio are up and running from
midday, then we have live bands/performers leading into ‘buskers’ corner’.   A wonderful chance for local talent to
showcase themselves, Dancing into the night with their headlining act ****  to be revealed nearer the time!

Sunday – It’s carnival time…. The KL1 team kick off nice and
early with the Breakfast show (with Paul Baker).  The Green & Upper Green will be busy with
over 30 stall holders arriving from 8am, to set up and showcase their goodies
& treats. So far in the parade we have the Caledonian Band, Stilt walkers,
Morris Dancers, Crazy Bananas, Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Beavers, Cubs,
Scouts, Costa Coffee, the Molly Dancers, Little Light’s, Police Cadets, the
Ukrainian Community, Heacham Red Hat Ladies, Shelly Keep Fit, the local Fire
Crew and returning by popular demand Stamford Show stoppers, with many more to
follow, so keep checking our social media for updates…..

Our amazing friends at the Princess

would struggle, so a massive thank you to them.
