It is exactly 140 years since the carnival concerts were first held in the town, and are nowadays traditionally seen as a curtain raiser to the eagerly anticipated annual carnival procession which this year takes place on Saturday, November 4.

The main event sponsor for this year’s concerts is Howards Motor Group, and over 4,500 tickets were available for the 12 performances.
