Missed the Children's Parade? Read our review here
"The streets of Brighton were filled with thousands of proud parents (and no end of fascinated onlookers) on Saturday 3rd May as the city’s children opened England’s largest Arts Festival in tremendous style.

As a family, this was our first visit to the children’s parade, and we were blown away by the variety and creativity of the designs. A huge number of schools were involved in making awesome displays and costumes, and it was a fabulous showcase for the primary and secondary schools across the city. From our vantage point overlooking Marine Parade, we were able to watch everyone finishing."
