Frome Carnival: Through the Years

Last lap!

Everyone seems to have such a fabulous time during our Carnivals and we are hoping that this year is no exception.

Frome Carnival 2010:

At the Seaside

(Picnic by the Sea)

Carnival 2010: Getting ready to be judged

"Sand in our sandwiches,

Salt in our tea, 

Oh, isn't it fun

To be down at the sea!"

We had a collection of adorable creatures such as crabs, lobsters, starfish, Nemo, mermaids, a hula girl, a shell and a fish. Some attendees also came as true British seaside icons such as sunbathers, a donkey rider, tourists carrying chips and with seagulls on their heads, Punch and Judy stage, sand castles, swimmers, lifeguards, ice cream vendor, beachball... the list was endless!

Send in the Clowns!

Frome Carnival 2011: Circus

What a grand day we had! As always, there was very good attendance from our dear families and fantastic support from the spectators. Quite a few commented on how cute the children looked and we quite agree!
Our Pepperbox Nursery Big Top was host to a variety of characters committed to delight and entertain! We had some strong men, acrobats, trapeze artists, lion tamer, lions, a tiger, ring master, magicians and, of course, our very lovable and helpful clowns!
Colourfule and varied as they are, most of our props, hats and costumes did not cost much to create because we sourced materials from a charity called the Scrapstore. For details about the Scrapstore, please ask the Nursery Manager.
