Sandown Carnival, in existence since 1889, has launched its latest carnival season. Seven girls and boys have been chosen as the town’s 2024 Carnival Royalty and up to £300 is on offer to help people put together an entry in this summer’s parades.
Sandown Carnival chair Paul Coueslant, said,
“We’re proud to be one of the Island’s oldest carnivals and can’t wait to get our new season under way in July. We’re always keen to help anyone with a good idea for their parade entry and there’s still time to apply to the fund we make available each year.”
Register to take part
Would-be entrants need to take part in two of the town’s 2024 parades and must apply by 4pm on Monday 27th May. Anyone can put in an application, with priority given to those in the PO36 postcode area.
Application packs can be downloaded from the website or picked up from Sandown Carnival’s shop at 77a High Street, Sandown PO36 8AD.
Carnivals and Regatta
Sandown Children’s Carnival and Main Carnival both take place on Saturday 27th July, with Sandown Illuminated Carnival on Wednesday 28th August.
The Carnival also organises Sandown Bay Regatta over the weekend of 10th and 11th August.
