2011 Parade Theme: Under Discussion!

Everyone is welcome to join in the parade, starting at 4.15pm from Harry Carlton School. Please contact Mel Roper on 07843 010638 or email mel.roper@hotmail.co.uk to register yourselves in the parade (even if you are a walking entry), so you are covered by our insurance, so you are on the judging sheet, so we are expecting you and finally so we can let you know of any last minute changes to arrangements!

We do have trailers available for use in the parade, but these are on a first come first served basis, so don't delay in contacting me, details above, or complete the booking form below!

If you would like to run a stall at the Carnival, pitches are available to hire at a cost of £20 (reductions are made for charities), again please complete a booking form to guarantee your pitch.

Carnival T-Shirts

The most bizarre wins!
Email to carnival@eastleake.net

In 2009 we decided to sell Carnival T-shirts. It was all started at the 2008 Carnival by Hayley Masom our MC for the day, and we decided to see if we could start a new trend.

We also launched a competition which involves sending in a photograph of you in your carnival t-shirt in the most bizarre place you have been, up a mountain, in Australia, wherever.

A prize will be awarded to the winning photograph at this year's carnival, so get snapping and send your photos in to carnival@eastleake.net.

Carnival T-Shirts are £5 each and can be obtained from the Carnival on the day or from the East Leake Parish Office.

Village Carnival

The East Leake Carnival is an entertaining afternoon for all, to celebrate real community spirit and village life. The Carnival is one of the biggest events held annually in East Leake, commencing with a parade through the village centre at 4.15pm (finishing at St Mary's Church) followed by entertainment by DJ's, various stage shows and a variety of stalls held by local organisations and individuals.

The date of the next Carnival is Saturday 19 June 2010 and the theme for the parade this year is "Historical Events".

Some organisations prefer to walk in the parade but we are lucky enough to be able to borrow several trailer floats for the parade so if you're an organisation, school, company, a group of friends or just an exhibitionist with a fancy dress suit who wants to be involved in the fun please get in touch, the bigger the parade, the better!

Pitches are available for hire. There is a Programme of Events for the Carnival and by supporting this event with an advert you will raise your business/organisation's profile throughout East Leake and further afield.

If you have any questions or queries or require further information please email me, mel.roper@hotmail.co.uk.

I hope you enjoy browsing through some of the photographs below which capture some of the magical moments of the previous Carnivals.
