Bexhill gears up for week-long movie-themed carnival celebrations

The theme is Movies with film-themed events ahead of the main carnival procession.

The week-long celebrations include a quiz night at Christchurch Methodist Church on Saturday, July 18, and a dog show at the Polegrove on Sunday, July 19, from noon to 4.30pm.

The Carnival Procession, which will make its way through town before finishing at the Polegrove, takes place on Saturday, July 25 from 1pm.

It will start from Brockley Road before travelling down Wickham Avenue, Sackville Road, and Western Road.

It will then head into Devonshire Square, Endwell Road, and Sea Road before marching along the length of Sea Road, heading into Marina, Devonshire Road, Parkhurst Road, Sackville Road, and then along the seafront via West Parade, finishing at the Polegrove.

Stalls and attractions will be at the recreation ground from 12.30pm and live bands will start at 3pm.

The carnival is raising money for the Jack Jeffreys Superhero Trust and Children with Cancer Fund.

Last year's Carnival theme was Out of this World, with participants dressed up as extra-terrestrials as part of the colourful parade.
