The parade will leave from the back of Rainbow car park and move onto Gosford Road, then left onto Station Road, Newgate, Blyburgate, Peddars Lane, St Mary's Road, Ballygate, New Market, The Walk, Old Market, Northgate, and then on to the Quayside. Yvette Tackley, one of the organisers of this year's event, said: “The parade itself is a good way to promote your business, club, pub or society in a positive way and give you free advertising opportunities.”

There are also a few spaces left for stalls on the Quayside for the weekend.

The organisers are also asking the winner's of last year's parade to return their trophies to East Coast Services in Ravensmere, Beccles, by Friday July 31.

Parade entry forms are available from www.becclescarnival.co.uk or by calling Stephen on 01502 713362. To find out more about stall prices and to book a stall please phone Annette on 01502 715671 or go to www.becclescarnival.co.uk.
