Clowns Parade

About a hundred clowns descended on Bognor Regis this weekend to attend the yearly clowns convention based at Butlins. Led by a Mardi Gras jazzband, the parade took place along the Esplanade and through the town for a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon. Plenty of tricks, fun and family activities were to be had by all, and happily for me, I overcame my slight fear/mistrust of clowns brought on by Stephen King’s horror film ‘It’!

About this blog

The vast majority of posts in this blog are about quirky & eccentric competitions & festivals. I started it in 2006 in France with a competition I’ll never forget. Where contestants battle it out to become the World Champion Pig Squeeler, or ‘Cri du Cochon’. I had little knowledge back then of quite how far my pursuit of these kind of events would lead me. I’ve travelled all over Britain (and occasionally further afield) to capture our curiosities and quirks. There’s nothing uniquely eccentric about the British, you’ll find people all over the world up to all sorts of weird and wonderful activities, but we do have a remarkable capacity to embrace the madness. ‘A Brit Different’ is the book that was born from it, my labour of love! So what next? There’s always something interesting going on, so watch this space, only time will tell!
