NoS Summary - Shows a travelling carnival and fair in the market town of Rye, East Sussex.
Researcher Comments
Title on British Pathe online database reads "Night Carnival".
Commentary: All the fun of the fair - and summer or winter, there’s always colour in the street, gaiety in the open air. Carnival at night in one of the travelling shows that tour the country from September to spring, gives proof that summer isn’t the only season of gaiety.
