My name is Louise.
In my spare time I like to spend time with my partner, daughter, and my dog. Whether it’s going in the pool, watching movies, or even going out with the dog to Felixstowe or Needham Lake, or just round my local area.

My name is Eliza and I am 8 years old.
I love singing and dancing, I have ballet lessons at Stowe School of Dance and perform with Bravo theatre workshops, which is so much fun! I go to St Peter’s and St Mary’s Church with my family, and at home we have two cheeky kittens called Poppy and Ivy.
I was born deaf in one ear so I wear a hearing aid and when I grow up I want to be a children’s nurse.

Hi my name is Thomas and I’m 7 years old soon to be 8.
I love doing guitar lessons and currently do 2 swimming lessons a week. I have a passion for history and especially learning about the Titanic. I live at home with my mummy, daddy and my two sisters Courtney and Kelsie.
I love my family to infinity and beyond.
Visitors Have a Great Time!
Seeing 1000’s of people coming out of their houses and coming together as a community enjoying the whole weekend together with friends and strangers.

A great opportunity to celebrate Stowmarket, meet new people and to be a royal for a period. It is a great event which makes people happier when watching and it shows the outcome of work done by a group of hard working Carnival team. Also it can show off what’s going on in Stowmarket too.
