6th August 2022

The first Saturday is August has been carnival day in Whitstable for the last 125 years. At 6pm, under a clear blue sky, the road into town from Tankerton is closed, the pavements are jammed and the procession, this year with a theme of all things piratical but with more than a smattering of the offbeat and eccentric, makes it way slowly and noisily into town. The pictures tell the story.
