TEN YEARS AGO: Annual Chapel St Leonards returns in rejuvenated state
Chapel St Leonards Carnival returns in rejuvenated state 10 years ago.
Following a period in which the carnival had experienced a decline in visitors and the range of entertainment available, organisers of the 2011 set out to reverse the trend.
Events co-ordinator Christine Young said: “We have resurrected the Chapel Carnival and hope it will continue for many years to come with the support of the local community.

Entertainment over the two days included a parade – two scenes from the event are pictured above, including the winning float from The Chapel Twinning Association, a Moulin Rouge themed creation.
