We have re-organised the layout of Carnival Week this year after consultation with many local people, in an attempt to make it easier for people to take part in the major events. Carnival Opening Day is on The Leas on Sunday 1st August and will be jam packed with events for all to enjoy beginning with the Carnival Bikini Dip, yes men too in bikinis! Also we have the Crowning of Carnival Queen, Children's Games, Scratby Donkeys, Anti-Static our Nelson Statue, stalls and lots of food. Carnival Day is in and around town all day on Wednesday 4th August and the main streets will be thronging with Street Entertainers, Stalls, Music and last years favourite Anti-Static our Nelson Statue who this year appears as Charlie Chaplin. The great Battle of the Bands, and a Talent Show to find our local entertainers. The Children's Fancy Dress will still take place today and hopefully we will have a float for the winners to ride on in the Carnival Parade which will be on Saturday 7th August. The Children will then parade through town to the main car park where we will be holding the TOWN RACES. Thursday we have the Carnival Fancy Dress at Sheringham Social Club Carnival Saturday 7th August is now being held on the Sports Ground and on Cookies Field, Beeston Regis.

Looking for accommodation over the Carnival period and cannot find any on this site? Why not try: www.sheringhamaccommodation.co.uk How to get hereClick here for some of the ways to get to Sheringham for our Carnival Google Maps showing Event Locations This site is here to give you information about past Carnivals, the programme of events for this year's Carnival and details on how you can be involved with the current Carnival. The Carnival is organised and run entirely by volunteers, but more are always needed. All skills are needed from financial expertise to making the tea for the works parties, putting up bunting requires a certain amount of skill up a ladder, but someone has to untangle it and pass it up! If we work together as a community we can make this year's Carnival even better than before and subsequently raise even more cash for local charities. You do not have to be a resident of Sheringham to offer your help. We have many people who live all over the country that visit our Carnival every year, if you are one of them, you too can get involved. During Carnival week we are always looking for help at the many events we provide, whether it be impartial judges or just help in supervising youngsters. If you want to be more involved, please do contact us. You can also take part in the events, put together a walking entry into the parade or doll up your motor and enter a motorised one. Buy a Duck from Carnival HQ and enter The Duck Race, practise a skill and enter the Talent Show or get your costume together for the big Parade. We love Carnival in Sheringham and as far as we are concerned, the more people who join in the better, so please do join us. The more money we raise, the more we can give to local Charities.
