Carnival 2018 is coming!

Saturday 14th July 2018 

Festivals of the World

Bastille Day ?

Join us at THE FAMILY EVENT of the summer in Radcliffe on Trent!

We look forward to seeing you at the Grange from 12:00 until 5:00, 

If you come to watch the Procession, with Floats,Bands and Walking Groups, this will leave Bingham Road Playing Fields at 1:00 and come through the village to The Grange.

Our theme this year is “Festivals of the World” so we know that the Floats, stalls and Walking Groups will have all sorts of great ideas to represent this theme and it will be colourful and lively. 

We're confident that the retailers & businesses of Radcliffe will support us again by mounting Window Displays; it really helps everyone to ‘get into the Carnival Spirit’

There will be a full programme of entertainment in the Arena including the Infant School Choir, a display by Simply Dance and the wonderful Dako Flying Angels. 

In the Grange Hall the Women’s Institute will be serving delicious refreshments whilst the entertainment will include The Trent Navigation Shanty Crew, The Phoenix Signing Choir and the Radcliffe U3A Ukulele Band.

Nearly ready for the Carnival ?

Carnival might be about planning, making floats and costumes, decorating shop windows, selling raffle tickets, practising songs and dances... but who will win the Tug of War ?

It's fantastic to witness the preparation for the Radcliffe Carnival as you go around the village:

Shop Windows are taking on a new identity as they are decorated with their interpretation of  "The Show Must Go On" and I'm so glad not to be a judge this year. The judging will take place on Friday afternoon, so do go and look at all the fabulous entries.

I know that many children on their walk to school are eagerly watching the development of the latest of Steve Phair's incredible creations for the Boy's Brigade Walking Float. Not long until it is revealed and I am certain it will live up to its title of " This could be the greatest show in Radcliffe".

So don't miss out on one of Radcliffe's special community events,  be at The Grange from 12 or watch the procession come down from Golf Road at 1:00 and join us at the Grange. Admission is £2 for Adults with Children: Free, and there is a fantastic afternoon of entertainment planned.

Every part of village life will be represented: from the Playgroup in the Procession & the Infant School Choir in the Arena, to the U3A Ukulele  Band serenading you with familiar songs whilst you enjoy a cup of tea and delicious cakes served by the Womens Institute. 

Artwork Challenge for Judges

Great Entries from the Infants & Junior School for the Radcliffe Charity Carnival Artwork Competition 

The judges for the Artwork Competition to design the poster and programme cover for the Radcliffe on Trent Carnival had a very difficult task, due to an outstanding number and high quality of entries.

Thank you very much to all the children who have produced such a fantastic variety of designs, and also the the staff at the schools for their support. 

Above is the poster designed by Ryan Shaw which we felt really captured the theme of 'The Show Must Go On' and was brilliantly colourful.

We'll do our best to display as many of the entries on Carnival Day ( 8th July), in the Grange Hall.

Quick reminder of timings:

• 12:00 Fete at Grange Hall and the Grange opens
• 1:00  Procession leaves Bingham Road and makes way through the village
• 1:40  Programme of entertainment in the Grange & Grange Hall
