Welcome to my gallery of pictures of Bexhill Carnival in East Sussex on 24th July 2004. Floats from all over the local 1066 area (Bexhill on sea, Hastings, Battle, Rye etc) and beyond, photographs of the parade include many floats including Carnival Queens, local school floats etc.

The parade route started near Bexhill College, went down Ninfield Road, Sea Road, past the De La Warr Pavilion (another place I like to photograph), round the Town Center and finishes up at the park. All the photos were taken from my Dads flat in Sea Road, which is a great place to photograph the carnival procession from.

It may not quite be Notting Hill Carnival, but its still quite fun event for Bexhill. I hope you like the pictures.

A great group of drummers, all dressed in black and red.


This is the float from Chantry School, all based on bed time stories.


This float was in the shape of a boat, it had a great little puppet on it (see pic below).
