Tilbury walk to join the carnival at Tilbury Cruise Terminal
This walk happened on Sat 20th July but you can follow the walk yourself using the information below.
Walk 15 of T100 Welcome to the Kitchen Table
Following a short walk from Tilbury Station to Anchor Field, stopping along the way at points of interest including the Old Cinema and Civic Square, this final day of ‘Welcome to the Kitchen Table’ coincided with Tilbury Carnival, inspired by the town’s local heritage and role within our national story through Empire Windrush.
The parade, made up of local community groups, began at 11am on Anchor Field in Tilbury Town and ended at the Tilbury Cruise Terminal on Dock Road approximately two hours later. The Cruise Terminal also hosted a wide variety of workshop activities and performances throughout the day.
Walkers were invited to walk with the carnival parade and enjoy the activities at Tilbury Cruise Terminal throughout the afternoon, including a shared lunch and community performances.
