SUMMARY:Stephen Cox's Myth Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Stephen Cox’s monumental sculptures\, imbued with mythic resonance\, will transform Houghton Hall this summer. \n \nHoughton Hall’s parklands and historic interiors will become a stage for Stephen Cox’s “Myth\,” a sweeping exhibition from May 4th to September 28th. \nThis unprecedented collection\, the culmination of 40 years of the acclaimed British sculptor’s global explorations\, will feature works inspired by India\, Egypt\, Italy\, and beyond. \n \nAround 20 monumental sculptures\, carved from marble and stone\, will punctuate the landscape\, while smaller\, more intimate pieces will resonate within the 18th-century State Rooms. The South wing gallery will offer insight into Cox’s creative process through works on paper\, alongside the arresting “Shrine” sculpture\, a highlight of the National Gallery’s “Encounters.” Stephen Cox\, a Royal Academician\, is renowned for his mastery of stone and his pioneering work with materials like Imperial Porphyry\, leaving an indelible mark on the world of contemporary sculpture.

A week of family fun and events including a Carnival Day procession around the town featuring floats\, fancy-dress\, pull-and push-along vehicles and much more. \n \n\n\n\nThe 2026 Wells Carnival in Wells-next-the-Sea\, Norfolk\, will take place from Friday\, 31st to Sunday\, August 9th.

This volunteer-run event transforms the town into a vibrant hub of family-friendly entertainment\, spanning ten days of community spirit and summer fun. From the bustling quayside to the historic greenery of The Buttlands\, the carnival offers a diverse programme that caters to residents and visitors of all ages. \nThe 2026 event features a packed schedule of over 100 activities. Highlights include the ever-popular Screen on the Green\, live music performances across six nights\, and a variety of workshops and history walks. Traditional competitions such as gillying on the quay (crabbing)\, sandcastle building on the beach\, and the energetic Raft Race remain cornerstones of the celebration. The festivities reach their peak on Carnival Day\, which boasts a spectacular parade through the town streets\, complete with themed floats\, fancy dress\, and local music. \nRun by a dedicated team of volunteers known as “the Crew”—distinguishable by their signature fuchsia pink t-shirts—the Wells Carnival is a not-for-profit initiative. It continues to be one of Norfolk’s most anticipated summer highlights\, blending Victorian tradition with modern seaside charm. \n\n \n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhat are the dates for the 2026 Carnival?\nThe Wells-next-the-Sea Carnival 2026 runs from Friday 31st July to Sunday 9th August. The main highlight\, Carnival Day and the Grand Parade\, is scheduled for Saturday 8th August 2026. \nIs there an admission fee?\nThe majority of the carnival events are free to attend\, though donations are gratefully accepted. As a not-for-profit event\, the organisers rely on the generosity of the public and local sponsors. Some specific workshops or evening music events may require a ticket or a small fee to cover costs. \nWhere does the Carnival Day parade take place?\nThe parade traditionally begins and ends at The Buttlands\, a large green in the centre of the town. It winds through the narrow streets of Wells and along the quayside\, providing numerous vantage points for spectators to enjoy the floats and fancy dress participants. \nCan anyone enter the Raft Race or Sandcastle Competition?\nYes\, these events are open to both locals and visitors. Registration for the Raft Race typically opens earlier in the year\, while entries for the sandcastle competition and other beach events are usually taken on the day. Participants are encouraged to check the official programme for specific timings and safety requirements. \nWhat should visitors know about parking during Carnival week?\nParking in Wells-next-the-Sea is limited and becomes exceptionally busy during Carnival week\, especially on Carnival Day. Visitors are advised to arrive early and use the designated car parks\, such as the Stearmans Yard or the Beach Road car park. Walking or using public transport\, such as the Coastliner bus service\, is highly recommended where possible. \nAre dogs allowed at the events?\nWells-next-the-Sea is a very dog-friendly town. Dogs are generally welcome at outdoor carnival events\, including those on The Buttlands and the Quay\, provided they are kept on a lead. However\, owners should be mindful of the large crowds and loud music\, which may be stressful for some pets. \nWhat happens to the money raised during the event?\nAll profits and collections made during the carnival are distributed to local charitable organisations and community projects within the NR23 postcode area. The event serves as a major fundraising vehicle for the town’s essential services and youth groups. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnna’s a Beautiful place to stay on the North Norfolk Coast
