Summer Beach Screenings, Penlope's 3rd Birthday & Seaside CEO

Plus, our Noticeboard has launched!

Another week in Ramsgate has passed, another week of wonderful events. I’m coming at you quite tired after this weekend’s festivities, but once again with a filled cup. We’ve only just walked through the door after watching Ramsgate Carnival dance its way through town and I have to say, I was loving the variety of floats on offer. Screaming Alley’s Pat Riarchy gyrating towards me was, of course, a highlight. A few photos of the parade below if you missed it…

Don’t miss out, until next week - EJP x
