We loved showing of a small selection of our costumes on carnival night and we have had some great feedback for the float and the characters on board.

Off The Wall Entertainment & French’s Fancy Dress were the winning team again 🥇

What a fantastic Carnival Night that was!

Again we teamed up with Off The Wall Entertainment and this year together we brought you a magical Neverland float.

Wendy Darling’s bedroom at one end, and the Jolly Roger pirate ship at the other to set the scene. This was all made over a couple of weeks leading up to the carnival and final decorations and lighting were added on the day. Thank you to everyone who helped.
Then all that was needed was the cast! Members of Uckfield Theatre Guild joined us on board. They are coincidentally preparing for their Peter Pan Pantomime later this year.
Our costumes looked fantastic (even if we do say so ourselves)! From John Darling in his striped nightshirt up to the stunning Captain Hook and traditional Peter Pan.
Thank you to everyone who joined us on board and walked or wheeled (Bazza West) alongside! The little ones - fairies, pirates and lost boys, Darling children, Tiger Lily, Tinkerbell and parrot - you were amazing. Thank you to the adult pirates, lost grown ups, the Darlings and especially Nana the dog. It was very warm in there!
Special thanks to Gemma for the pirate tunes. The sound system from ‘Off the wall Entertainment’ was amazing.
We couldn’t have done any of this without the help from Parnaby Groundworks and John our driver, so we send huge thank you to them.

We were very grateful that it stayed dry during the procession. It was great to see so many people lining the streets.
We are already pondering the theme for next year so watch this space…

We are looking forward to revealing our float tonight. It’s going to be magical!

Here’s a little reminder about parking on the industrial estate 👇

Please can we just remind everyone that we need to keep Bell Lane on the Industrial Estate clear so we can line up the floats and keep the buses running. Thank you..

The buses are accessing Bell Lane from the Tesco’s roundabout and exit through the top of the estate - Brookside.

Again, our sincere thanks to Balfour Beatty for the supply of signage and the loan of cones helping us to keep the buses moving.

It was a pleasure to help out with this…

Our work got featured in Quirky Weddings, this is my second feature in the magazine and I'm so proud of it. 🥰

My idea was to do something dark, but still glam and beautiful, like when a Disney Villain getting married.

Worked with amazing suppliers on this shoot and love the outcome.

Just over two weeks to go until Uckfield Carnival on Saturday 7th September. Time to get your fancy dress sorted. 😀

Don’t forget that we are happy to supply accessories as well as complete costumes.
That’s what we did for Lynda and family!
The woodland fairy dress is very popular and we love how our brown accessories and stole were used for the fawn.
They all had a magical time.

When you hire one of our 1920’s flapper dresses you get far more than just a great dress!
We supply gloves, a feather boa, headdress and pearls - and they’re all included!

Wigs and shoes are available too for a small extra fee.

Carolyn chose these fab shoes to complement her dress.
