The Carnival opens with the arrival of the Parade, with the theme this year of
THE WILD WEST, with schools, nurseries, churches and local dramatic, operatic and sporting groups providing the participants.

Whilst the activities change every year, there are always numerous stalls run by local groups, charities and environmental organisations. (click on STALLS below for information).
FARMERS MARKET
This year we are also pleased to welcome some Farmer's market stalls & a few commercial stalls dotted around the field

LOCAL SUPPORT
The Carnival is grateful to have the support of many local businesses in the form of both sponsorship and advertising. (click on LOCAL BUSINESSES for more information) Without their generosity the Carnival could not offer the wonderful range of activities that it does every year. So please support them for supporting us!
CONTACTS
Finally, the whole event is planned, organised and run by a team of willing volunteers. . If you would like to join them in helping to put on this very worthwhile event or if you have some suggestions as to what would improve the Carnival for everybody click on COMMITTEE to see who to contact.
