Carnival 2008 - Fairy Tales
Carnival Procession
Entry in the procession is free. If you need a vehicle and give us at least 8 weeks notice, we can often help. You must however provide your own driver.
Do not forget you do not have to enter a float. You can walk or push a pram or stilt-walk, or ... well you think!
It is always nice to know in advance that you are coming but if it is a last-minute thing and you do not need transport, just turn up at The Orchards in Eaton Bray between 10.30 and 11.30 on the day. Judging takes place at noon and the procession moves off at 12.30. All we ask is that your entry has a theme.
