WANT TO WALK THE ROUTE IN FANCY DRESS?
Great idea ! many people walk the carnival route in fancy dress.
If you want to make it even better why not enter the fancy dress competition - Judging takes place in the High Street near to the Curtis O'Boyle estate agent at 6pm on Carnival night
AND
go into the estate agents and pick up a collecting box - part of the fun is to collect money on route which will be donated to local charities.
TAKING CHILDREN TO THE PROCESSION?
Please look after your children and keep to a few safety rules
- Don't throw coins at the floats - put them in the collecting buckets
- Don't allow your children into the road to pick up and dropped coins
- Remember that floats on the move have restricted vision and may not be able to see you or your children so please give them plenty of room
- keep your children close to you at all times
- BE SAFE AND ENJOY THE CARNIVAL
