Heritage Parade rounds the town!

Gunner Edgar Lawrance leads the Heritage Parade
The nineteenth Brixham Heritage Festival got underway on Saturday 29th May with the Heritage Parade through the streets of the town. The Brixham Heritage Museum was well represented in period costume, with Charlbury Morris Men ready to dance through the streets to the sounds of their own instrumentals, including the 'Floral Dance.'
