Competition Time!
We hope to shortly have a new Royalty trailer, and we are looking for a whole new design. So, if anyone is interested in coming up with a fantastic and special new look for this year, please get your creative juices going! Post your designs here from the website.

We need it to be fairly easy/cheap to construct - so try not to get too fantastical!! 🤣. It would be helpful to have something that is easy to store over the winter, and it also needs to be able to be timeless so that each new royalty can add their own individuality to it (such as colour/decorations/lighting).

Best in carnival winner is Dave Tout who took eight months to design and make these star wars models. 

This year our Carnival Queen is Isabelle Gribble and she will be supported by our Carnival Princess Phoebe Hinks and Carnival Prince Blake Shaw. 
Well done to you all! We are sure you will be great ambassadors for the carnival and the town!
