Welcome to the Newbury Carnival website!

The Newbury Carnival Team are currently enjoying a summer break, but thoughts of carnivals are never very far away.  Jacquie and Andrew have just seen some of Weymouth Carnival (pictured right), which was apparently very successful.  Well done to all involved.

The hot, sunny day of Newbury Carnival 2009 seemed a very long way away last Friday, as Carnival Queen attendant Ellie Bridger-Wilkinson joined Father Christmas in his procession through the streets of Newbury.  Father Christmas was here to switch on the town’s Christmas lights.  A large and enthusiastic crowd filled the Market Place and – [...]

Following on from the huge success of Newbury Carnival 2009, Carnival Team members decided that the Parade should run every two years.  We think there are lots of good reasons for this.
