Despite heavy rain and high winds on Saturday that resulted in some cancellations to events, the volunteer carnival team said: "We’re determined to deliver the carnival for the town and community!” The same spirit was shared by the stage acts including The Christians who took to the main stage on Saturday night to perform for the carnival visitors and fans, delivering an incredibly memorable performance.

Sunday’s packed main stage show hosted by local radio legend Danny Matthews and Graham Liver of BBC Radio Lancashire featured the return of Morecambe band ‘Ice Factory’ reunited on stage after 28 years.

Original punk princess Toyah rocked the stage with her classic songs ‘It’s a Mystery’ and ‘Thunder in the Mountains’.

The show was headlined by S-Club 3, who brought their signature ‘S-Club Party’ to the promenade.
