Recycling Lymington's Carnival Queens
Calling all previous Lymington Carnival Queens - please contact the Lions Club of Lymington & Brockenhurst!
The Lions Club of Lymington & Brockenhurst, organisers of Lymington Carnival, are appealing for past Lymington Carnival Queens to contact them.
By ‘Recycling the Queens,’ it will fit very much into this year’s theme of ‘Saving Our Planet,’ suggested by the headline sponsor Colten Care.
The Carnival parade will take place on the morning of Sunday 21 July and will be taking a circular route around the Town from 11:00.
Lymington Carnival is one of the biggest and most spectacular carnival processions in the New Forest area. This year's Saving the Planet theme will give the opportunity for a number of local groups and organisations to send out important messages about the environment.
Recycling Carnival Queens
"Many other Carnivals around the world invite past Queens into their parades," said Ian Duncan, Lions Carnival Organiser.
"We thought this was a very good idea for Lymington, but guess as in the Town’s own unique style, we will not be asking for them to dress up in crinoline hooped dresses, but encourage more of an individual style.
Naturally, many will want to recreate the elegance of their previous appearance in the procession. Others girls might just want to give a quirky new twist, such as Joanna Lumley’s ‘Patsy’ - the morning after the night before!! It’s very much up to the girls, but we will be providing the Carnival Queen Sashes.
