Sunningdale Carnival
Welcome to the 33rd annual Sunningdale Carnival, bringing together all the villages in the area for a day of family fun & entertainment.The 2009 Carnival will be held on Sunday the 13th of September. Gates will open at 11am.
A hint of 'medieval' for this year.
To help us get a feel for how life really was during those times we have invited the MEDIEVAL COMBAT SOCIETY to join us for a whole day of activities and entertainment.
The Medieval Combat Society (MCS) was originally formed in 1970, and is a medieval reenactment group. The object of the society is to have fun whilst entertaining the public and generating an interest in British history. The MCS is a member of the Early Medieval Alliance (EMA), and has over 60 members from all over the UK and all walks of life.
