Granny's older sister Cath, on her right, has the "Carmen Miranda" hat. Sis, second from the left, has something called "A Ticket to Ryde." Ryde is a place on the Isle of Wight but there are about five holiday camps nearby, so I don't know how I'd narrow down which camp they were at. Here's Granny's petunia patch hat song:
Both of Granny and Cath's hat choices are themed from the 1940s. Carmen Miranda had a song specifically about The Lady in the Tutti Frutti Hat, and this is from a 1943 musical. Maybe their fashion parade was themed for 1940s musicals...?
Ryde pier on the Isle of Wight is now 200 years old. This photo below looks like it's from 1950 perhaps?
The photo below is of Bournemouth, where they might have got the ferry to the island--looks like it was taken maybe in the 1960s.
