For ‘pram’ read anything that can be pushed along by a team in fancy dress. Themes this year included Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland.

In contrast to last year’s wet weather, the even enjoyed a fine evening which drew large crowds of people to cheer on the races.

Don’t worry if you missed the fun as prams often make a second appearance during the carnival procession (Saturday August 4).
