Harwich: Guy Carnival in pictures and videos

The annual event was cancelled last year due to the pandemic but returned with a bang on Saturday.

Community groups dressed up and paraded through the town in spooky costumes and outfits, while the satirical big-heads were unveiled.

John Wade, chairman of the Guy Carnival Committee, said the money raised from the event was still being counted but hailed it a success.

“Everyone seemed to have a great time and there were a lot more people than we were expecting,” he said.

“It was nice to see everyone come out and support the carnival after last year’s was cancelled.

“We had lots of families joining in and people from across the community.

“We were a bit worried the weather might spoil it but we got lucky and we were delighted with how it all went.”

Winners on the night included Carnival Guys, who won awards for the wittiest slogans and most amusing float.

The Land of Make Believe was named the best group big head, while Boogie Shoes claimed the top dancing prize.
