Community arts charity Patina Lewes organises the event, now in its 17th year, to mark outgoing year 6 primary school students’ transition to secondary school and into adolescence.

Pupils had looked to the skies for inspiration for their sculptures and costumes as the theme was Spread Your Wings and Fly, focusing on the fascination throughout history with the possibilities of human flight.
