Children and adults get together in the preceding weeks to make costumes, then parade through town wearing them.
Only two rules - no logos, no vehicles. The theme was journeys, in honour of the 500th anniversary of our (oldest) bridge, so we had migratory birds, trains, horses, aliens, sea creatures (including L)...
... a giant lollipop lady...
...oh yes, and a vast pair of feet!

How uplifting, and what creativity! I love the fish with the boggly eye. And not a computer game in sight - just human beings and their imagination. Thanks for posting this.
Looks wonderful, I specially like the blue and green sea things and the cuttlefish particularly. In New Zealand they call it 'wearable art', there's a huge festival of it in Auckland in September. They set up a local prize where Az lived in her name and memory, because she loved this stuff so much and did it so well, which is really great.
Hi Vivien, and welcome! Yes, it's really the perfect antidote to the digital world.
L- did you spot L among 'the blue and green sea things?' What a special thing, that prize - a lovely way to be remembered in the community.
Yes, I found her at last! In the silver and bluegreen fishtail in the 5th pic down, between two ladies in red tops.
yes and in the fourth you can just see her peeping through behind the woman blowing bubbles!
Grand stuff and oh, those feet!
