Shiver me timbers! The Plumstead Make Merry is set to take to the high seas with a nautical themed parade that will open this year’s festival.

Local children and their parents are invited to take part in the parade by dressing up as pirates and sailors and dancing a jig to a sea shanty in front of the Bandstand. They will then join a parade around the festival site before prizes are awarded for the best costumes. So c’mon my hearties, make sure you start your summer at the Plumstead Make Merry!
