UNSEASONAL weather failed to put a damper on Teignmouth’s annual carnival last week.

Despite the unseasonal wind and rain, the town pulled out all the stops to enjoy the seven day festival  of fun.

The week-long event carried on through rain and shine with everything from pebble painting to talent and dog shows, plus  an abundance of  live music to keep both residents and visitors to the town happy.

The main event was the carnival procession last Thursday evening, for which the weather remained kind, and saw a cavalcade   of colourful floats, walking entries and bucket collectors wind their way through the town once judging of entries had been completed on The Den. 

The evening culminated  with a fantastic firework display

Organisers of the event have thanked everyone, sponsors, participants and the people of Teignmouth, who turned out to support the event, saying that as a community the town should be proud of such an event.
