Horley Carnival 2017 ...a blistering hot success!
It may have been a blisteringly hot day, but the people of Horley came out in their thousands to partake in the annual Horley Carnival Day which has become a firm fixture in this vibrant community’s calendar. This year’s event took place on Saturday 17 June.
The Carnival Procession was large, the floats showing great imagination, working to the theme of the “Wonders of the Sea”. A testament as to the strength of the community spirit was seen with no less than eight local schools entering floats on the day. In addition other sectors of the community really pulled out all the stops, with floats entered from a wide breadth of the community.
The Procession itself comprised 18 floats and exhibits, led off by the Redhill Corps of Drums and Band and further escorted by the Surrey & Sussex Drum & Bugle Corps. On route the Procession was joined by the Bloco Du Sol, which had been playing in town centre outside Cost Coffee, getting spectators in a party mood with their samba type music. Further along the route the Procession also picked up the Gatwick Caledonian Pipe Band which had been entertaining the crowds in the Town Centre Precinct.
The Procession as organised by members of Horley Lions Club, was well marshalled thanks to the support of volunteers from 41 club, Horley Football Club and Britaniacrest Recycling. Everyone joined into the party spirit, the Procession being patrolled by Traffic Management Vehicles courtesy of the Gatwick Group, Britaniacrest and Herts Traffic Management <read more>.
