Old Town Carnival Week–lend a hand to create (and maybe carry) a float

The Pier Hub is entering the Old Town Carnival and  need your help to build the float!  They are running a series of workshops in July, led by Radiator Arts, to create the float which will be inspired by the past and future pier.  Come along to contribute to the overall construction of the float and you will also be able to make a souvenir to take home.  They also need your help to carry the float on the day of the carnival, Saturday 2nd August.  If you aren't able to make the carnival itself you are still welcome to attend one of our workshops.

Carnival capers: float making workshop – all free!
