Parade Entry form 2020

Dear Prospective Royalty,

Carnival 2020 is fast approaching and we need our Carnival Royalty!

Just like last year

• instead of having one float with everyone on, it’s being split into 3 separate ones with one royal member on each.
• we’re continuing with the chance of having a Carnival King, Prince or Crown Bearer.

Simply this means that the entries are open to both boys and girls.

In addition this year we MAY be able to provide vehicles for the Carnival Royalty so watch this space!

Do you think you have what it takes?

Just check it’s okay with your grown up (as there’s some work involved for them) and fill in a Royalty application form. Then return it to your school or to the address at the bottom of the form.

Closing date for entries is Friday 3rd April 2020

Scarecrow Competition

CARNIVAL 2020 Scarecrow Competition!

Watch this space!

Attractions on the Rec!

As ever there will be a wide range of different food and drink stalls with live entertainment from different local bands whilst you eat and drink!

There will also be a big variety of children’s activities and stalls selling all kinds of different products on the field on the day.
