I wasnt expecting much activity when I went to stay with family in the seaside town of Swanage, however I was pleasntly surprised when I realised my stay was during Carnival week. I can honestly say that for a small town I have never seen anything like it, there were activities for all ages all week, some more quaint than others! Including dog shows, Red Devils landing, bands, yard of ale contests, treasure hunts, a fair, three firework displays...the list goes on. It was the fireworks that attracted the largest crowds, they were put on on the Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday, they were truley spectacular, and with each performance they seemed to get better, they out the Leeds firework display by miles. What amzed me was all of this entertainment was put on for free, there were people collecting money but you didnt have to contribute a certan amount, the atmosphere was unbeatable, I would say to anyone in the area next year that it is well worth travelling to the usually sleepy town to get involved with the fun!
