Aldeburgh Carnival 2019


ALDEBURGH is fortunate in being one of the towns that has managed to continue the carnival tradition when so many others have been forced to give up.


Aldeburgh Carnival, as it is more generally referred to nowadays, is thought to be at least 170 years old. It has had various titles over the years but was known as Ye Olde Marine Regatta as long ago as 1835.


The earliest and a programme


found was for 1892 when 15 events were held – 12 sailing races, two swimming races


greasy pole


competition. One of the big attractions of the day was a race for the East Coast Lifeboats from Aldeburgh, Thorpeness and Dunwich.
