The Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza has been running annually in the Welsh resort for more than 30 years, originally set up to show off the beautiful seaside town at the start of the holiday season.

This year’s event will feature daily costumed parades, a family circus, a vintage funfair, traction engines and stalls.

Visitors can step back in time and join Mr French’s Victorian School, or head to the mini top for the family-friendly Victorian circus. A daily costumed parade takes place at noon every day with marching bands, steam engines, and Victorian walkers.

In the Mostyn Street Vintage Section there will be a flea circus, as well as balloon and magic shows.
