Carnival 2008
2nd August to
10th August 2008

After a very successful 2007 Carnival we are now planning the 2008 Carnival when we would like to make it even better than 2007.

We would like to appeal for more volunteers to make this happen with an input of new idea's and comments.

NEW FOR 2008 - MEDIEVAL DEMONSTRATIONS THROUGHOUT CARNIVAL WEEK INCLUDING 'HAVE-A-GO' LONGBOW, ARCHERY AND OTHERS

 

Medieval Demonstrations

Sheringham Carnival has been running for several years and each year is getting bigger and better.   It is a fun time for all of the family, from the babes in arms to Grandmothers and Grandfathers, with something to interest everybody.

We have lots of new and exciting events on offer this year, so book your time off and come and join in the fun.

This site is here to give you information about past Carnivals, the programme of events for this year's Carnival and details on how you can be involved with the current Carnival.

The Carnival is organised and run entirely by volunteers, but more are always needed.  All skills are needed from financial expertise to making the tea for the works parties, putting up bunting requires a certain amount of skill up a ladder, but someone has to untangle it and pass it up!  If we work together as a community we can make this year's Carnival even better than before and subsequently raise even more cash for local charities.

You do not have to be a resident of Sheringham to offer your help.  We have many people who live all over the country that visit our Carnival every year, if you are one of them, you too can get involved.   During Carnival week we are always looking for help at the many events we provide, whether it be impartial judges or just help in supervising youngsters.  If you want to be more involved, please do contact us.

You can also take part in the events, put together a walking entry into the parade or doll up your motor and enter a motorised one.   Buy a Duck from Carnival HQ and enter The Duck Race, practise a skill and enter the Talent Show or get your costume together for the beach party.

We love Carnival in Sheringham and as far as we are concerned, the more people who join in the better, so please do join us.
