Shepton Mallet Carnival 2022

Well … what a wet evening! The phrase ‘Wet as an otters’ pocket’ comes to mind.

Shepton Mallet held their carnival on Wednesday 16th November 2022 after a two-year break. Sadly, the rain didn’t stay away and was continuous throughout the night. I managed to film the procession in my usual position and all the videos are now on YouTube! (Apologies for the slight wobble and the pouring rain!)
