An Isle of Wight town council has approved thousands of pounds in event grants including for one of the Island’s most celebrated summer carnivals.
At a Shanklin Town Council meeting last week, councillors gave the go ahead to funding applications for both Shanklin Carnival 2024/25 and Shanklin Carnival Christmas Fair.
£5,500 granted
The amount suggested on the agenda was £5,500 and at least that will be given.
This year’s main Shanklin summer carnival in 7th August saw a parade with floats, dancers and music starting at Popham Road, near Big Mead Park, with thousands watching the procession.
Shanklin Illuminated Carnival took place on 10th August and the Christmas Market last Saturday.
