Summer carnival fun lined up for children in Hastings and St Leonards

18 Hours Events produces St Leonards Festival and Hastings Storytelling Festival. Both festivals had their schools parades cancelled during the pandemic.

Now they have become involved with the new National Children’s Carnival Week, which will run July 12 - 18. The event is the brainchild of the UK Centre for Carnival Arts and aims to get schoolteachers, children and their families involved in an upbeat finale to a challenging academic year.
