Harwich in the early 1800s was the centre of shipbuilding for the Royal Navy. Its highest achievement was the building of the Man of War, ‘Conqueror’ which fought with distinction at the Battle of Trafalgar. The Stane Street Players tell the story of the ship, it’s crew and the townspeople of Harwich in an amusing, big cast production laced with sea songs and shanties.

Harwich as part of the Shanty Festival on 13th October.

Fancy dress costumes will be worn, big heads donned and floats with music filling the evening air and people will be lining the streets.

The carnival will start having assembled on the Main Road at its junction with Ainger Road. The procession will proceed along the Main Road stopping outside Asda for 15 minutes before continuing all the way down to Harwich finishing in West Street.

There is plenty of vantage points to view the procession.

As part of the Harwich Guy Carnival, Essex Pedal Power will be joining the fun with a Glow Ride starting at 6pm outside the front gates of Thomson Cooper.
