Newbury Carnival - still time to enter! Options

[Guest_Newbury Carnival_*]

As of now, there are just 12 days to go until Newbury Carnival on Sunday 5th July but there's still time to enter the parade.

With over 50 entries already, this year's parade is set to be one of the biggest in recent years and well over 500 people are already taking part.

Entering the carnival needn't take a lot of effort (entries range from decorated lorries through to simple 'walking' entries) and there's no upper or lower limit on the number of people you involve. What's more entry is free, so if whether you would like to promote your business, club or community group or just want to join in the fun there's nothing to stop you. On top of all that, you could win one of the cash prizes we will be awarding in various categories.

If you would like your entry to feature in our publicity before the day you'll need to contact us as soon as possible, but we will accept applications right up to the weekend of the event.

And Carnival 2009 is much more than the parade: the traditional Carnival Fete will be taking place in Goldwell Park (next to the Northcroft Centre) from 12.00pm until 6.00pm on the day and will feature arena entertainment, a fair, food and refreshments and much more. (Stalls are still available for both businesses and charities and schools which enter the parade can have a fund-raising stall at no cost).

Me and the wife went down there today and were really impressed. We had a great afternoon, enjoyed the band in the park as well as all the other stuff and the weather was beautiful. A brilliant event.

It was ok. We only went to the fete thingy in the park. Loads of nasty/chavvy people around, Tesco must have been dead. Did see a teletubby smoking a roll up......which was a highlight.
