The Sheringham Carnival has kicked off another week-long celebration filled with family fun.

The festival got underway in style on Saturday, August 3, when the carnival queen Kelly Watts and her attendants Amy Randall and Jessica Nolson rode into town on Harley Davidsons. 

They were crowned on Sunday, August 4. Also part of the ceremony were the festival princess Lily Dowsett-Olby and prince Nicky Watts.
