Carnival Characters Costumes Fancy Dress

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Kirkburton Scouts giant caterpillar steals the show at Burton Carnival, 1985. This print captures the essence of a vibrant community event that took place in the picturesque village of Burton. The carnival was a delightful spectacle filled with an array of characters, children dressed up in colorful costumes and fancy dress. Amongst all the attractions, it was the larger-than-life Kirkburton Scouts giant caterpillar that truly captured everyone's attention. Towering over the crowd, this magnificent creation brought smiles to faces young and old alike. Its intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship were a testament to the dedication and creativity of the scouts involved. The event itself held great significance beyond its entertainment value. It served as a fundraiser for Kirkburton Parish Church's restoration fund, aiming to raise £25,000 for much-needed repairs. The generosity of those who attended helped contribute £1,250 towards this noble cause. The opening ceremony was graced by none other than Reverend Edward Clarke, a former vicar of the village who shared deep ties with both church and community. His presence added an air of reverence to an otherwise joyous occasion. This print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to a simpler time in the 1980s when communities came together to celebrate their heritage while supporting important causes.
