Ely Folk Festival Carnival

Ely Carnival Arts  did  a whole batch of making activities for Ely Folk Festival's annual carnival parade.  We work with children at the festival to create costumes, props and puppets and this year our theme was "Into the Forest"

Our costume theme was Robin Hood.  The bows and arrows were especially popular!

As were the sheilds - a brilliant activity for all age groups.

The parade itself was headed up by the skipping girls.... with a custom  made willow skipping rope.

Followed by the giant Green Man puppet.

Then we had a long line of Robin Hoods - both male and female.

And finally Tom carrying Annie's banner.

A great green time was had by all!
