title	Palgrave Players do the Carnival, Diss, Norfolk - 8th June 2025
intro	For the second year in a row, Palgrave Players and Isobel are making an appearance in the Diss Carnival. This year, the theme is "countries", and so they pick Sweden, dress up in 1970s gear, and walk the parade singing Abba songs.
