Fringe Carnival 2025
We were Dressed to Impress for Carnival Day with those who walked alongside the float sporting Fringey costumes masterminded by artist Catherine Serjeant. On a hot and sunny day, our Fringe team and supporters did a great job collecting for the Well Dressing charities. With huge thanks to driver Matthew and Lomas Distribution for the vehicle and all their help preparing it. We are also grateful to G&R Leigh for providing straw bales and to all those who worked both on the day and in the months leading up to the carnival to make our float happen. Thanks to our photographers: Moira Kean, Dan Osborne, Stephanie Billen, Maria Carnegie and Stephen Walker.
