Don’t forget the Ventnor Carnival tomorrow.
The children’s carnival sets off at 2pm from Dudley Road and (weather permitting) will proceed up Pier Street, Church Street, Belgrave Road and onto Ventnor Park. If raining, the parade will go to the Winter Gardens instead.
Do come out and cheer on the kids – they go to great lengths to dress up and have fun.
Look out some children from Niton Primary School who will be raising awareness for the Barely Born appeal and will also be appearing in the evening procession along with a Barely Born branded car.
The evening procession kicks off at 7pm and does the loop around the round-about (ie. Ventnor town centre) a couple of times. The Ventnor Comic Jazz Band will be out in force, so don’t miss it.
Join in the fun by dressing up and cheering on the floats as they pass by.
Thanks to Flickr Group member, Ventlindown, here’s some footage of the carnival back in the 1960s. Recognise anyone?
