CARNIVAL ON STILTS - Thats Sweet!

BIRKENHEAD VILLAGE PRESENTS:
CARNIVAL ON STILTS - Thats Sweet!
Saturday 25 October
11-1pm Roving Village Event

Have the kids ever seen stiltwalkers?  We think they are a very art deco carnival thing but did you know that archaeological evidence suggests that the first instances of stilt walking can be found in ancient Egypt and China around 3,500 years ago! In these cultures, stilts were primarily used for practical purposes, such as navigating marshy terrains or working in flooded fields. 


THIS IS AN ALL WEATHER EVENT
