Deepings Lions Club hosted annual carnival




Falconry displays and historical re-enactments were part of the entertainment line up at The Deepings Carnival.

The annual event was blessed with good weather on Sunday, when around 2,000 people flocked to the John Eve Field in Market Deeping.

The music stage was busy throughout the day with performances from Lucy’s Pop Choir, Leenie-Jayne and Dean & Co alongside Fens Falconry, Shotokan Karate, Dream Dance and Tang Soo Do Tae Kwando in the main arena.

A Spitfire flypast was cancelled but there was also stalls and children’s rides to keep visitors entertained.

Dave Turner, from the Deepings Lions Club, said: “This was a free family event and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The weather was fantastic and we had a very good turnout.”

The event was supported by grants from Market Deeping Town Council, Deeping St James Parish Council and Upp. Members of the Rotary Club of The Deepings and Deepings Round Table helped out.
