Programme

Carnival Week 2008

So we are finally here! What is instore this year? 

Of course we're not going to give you the full programme as we'd like you to buy one of our 64 page full colour programmes with all events, timings, free funfair ride voucher and competitions. They cost £2 each and are available from 85% of businesses in Dawlish. 

To the right is a list of just some of the events but our programme starts at 10am every morning through to 10pm every day except Sunday 10th (we finish at 8.15 - gives us all chance to rest from the 36hr setup period before the bulk of the week begins!).

If you live outside the town e-mail treasurer @ dawlishcarnival.co.uk to purchase one by post

All events in the area are free to watch, some competitions have minimal entry fees as do most events taking place in the Marquee

Also running all week we have side stalls, a bouncy castle, a static wildlife display, funfair rides, hot food and refreshments in the marquee and even Paintball!

AND have a number of street entertainers, magic and Punch and Judy shows going on all week as well!
