'Tradition with a Twist' Plans for New Look Lowestoft Carnival

Monday, 21 October 2024 06:00

Plans to bring a new look Lowestoft Carnival back to the town have been revealed.

A special event was hosted on Sunday evening at the Seagull Theatre, where ideas and work on the start of the carnival were shared.

The main procession would stay south of the bridge and include London Road South and Marine Parade. Meanwhile, the Royal Green would also see events taking place through the day.

It is hoped that local people, groups, charities and businesses will get involved in what aims to become a big Suffolk summer event.

Listen now to Des Reynolds from the Seagul Theatre about the community project:
