The procession through Surbiton last year
The borough’s favoured Surbiton Festival, celebrating the bizarre tale of the legendary Goatboy, is set to return this weekend.
The annual celebration, which sees dozens of residents from across the borough march through Surbiton’s streets in unusual fancy dress attire, takes place on Sunday, February 26.
The surreal procession last year saw children dressed as cheese and guinea pigs led through the streets by the legendary ‘goat boy’.
Preparations hit a snag when a foam sardine costume went missing earlier this year – one of the festival’s main attractions.
But despite this, organisers are confident the event, now in tis eigth year, will be “bigger and better than ever”.
