Abbeytown Carnival Abbeytown Carnival was once again a great success in terms of the preparation and the day itself. The weather was spot on for the weekend and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves - egg throwing and tug of war are looked forward to by many from year to year. Thanks to all those who took part and to all the support that is received on the day and throughout the year. Without contributions of time, money and lots of hard work the Carnival would not be the success it is. Thanks to all concerned, roll on 2010.

The celebrations were opened on 3rd August by Steve Broomhead, Chief Executive of the North West Development Agency, who unveiled a large wooden plaque, designed and created by the Silloth Woodcarvers’ Group to mark the occasion. The main event took place over the weekend, with a wide array of attractions down at the docks themselves. Over 12,000 people visited the port, and were able to see attractions ranging from older vessels such as a heritage trawler and tug, plus a topsail schooner (pirate ship), to modern cargo ships, patrol vessels and lifeboats of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). Harbour Master & Port Superintendent, Captain Chris Puxley, said: “It was great to see so many people visiting Silloth, and I hope that everyone who visited us enjoyed their day. It is reassuring that, after a century and a half, the port is still doing what it was designed to do all those years ago and supporting the economy of Cumbria and the North West as a whole.” Crowds were entertained on the quayside by a funfair, stalls, pirates, strolling musicians and dancers. The skies overhead were also busy, with search and rescue helicopter displays by the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, and fly pasts by the historic Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the world’s only Vulcan bomber. The Solway Coast Discovery Centre / Tourist Information Centre in Silloth is running a special ”Port of Silloth” exhibition until 16th August. The exhibition consists of archive photographs and information of the port’s history, historic charts, drawings, maps, as well as additional contributions from port customers, local environmental organisations, Silloth Lifeboat Station, members of the public and Cumbria Records Office.
