HETHERSETT CARNIVAL AND FETE SATURDAY 24TH JUNE

Overcast skies and two brief rain showers, one before the carnival parade set off, and one towards the end of the fete, did little to affect the enjoyment of all who took part or came out to give their support. It is estimated that between 1,500 and 2,000 people attended the carnival and fete and several hundreds of pounds were raised to go towards a lasting Hethersett Millennium memorial. THE CARNIVAL The carnival parade formed up in New Road.
