by admin • Uncategorized

In response to a number of queries about the time and route of the seafront procession, scheduled for Saturday 28th July here are the details…

The “offiste” part of the festival kicks off 10.00am at Banker’s Corner, Terminus Road with performances from Hunters Moon, Penatacle Drummers and the visiting morris sides

They will then make their way towards the seafront stopping at TJ Hughes at approximately10.30am and the seafront opposite the end of Terminus Road at approximately 11.15am

The procession will form up in the same place to process along the seafront to the festival site from 12.00 midday, stopping at the lifeboat museum en route and arriving on site by 12.45 at the latest

Remember all are welcome to take part – please dress up;  we encourage people to wear gold/yellow in celebration of the harvest but any sort of dress, the more eccentric the better, is more than acceptable! All taking part in the procession are requested to follow any instructions from the procession stewards.
