Want to get involved in 2025?

After the success of Radcliffe Charity Carnival 2024, "Amazing Animals," the Carnival Working Group is already looking ahead to next year.

 

Next year's Carnival will take place on Saturday 12th July 2025.

The theme is still to be decided by the Radcliffe-on-Trent Junior School Pupil Council and the members of the Radcliffe on Trent Charity Carnival Facebook group. Keep your eyes peeled on Facebook for the poll; cast your vote to decide next years' theme!

There are a number of ways in which local organisations, charities, community groups, families, and businesses can get involved in the Carnival; joining our procession, providing entertainment, running a stall, helping close a road, putting up endless gazebos ...

You can also participate in our many competitions. The Competition Categories tab in the navigation bar will lead you to an in-depth explanation of each prize to be won on Carnival day and how to enter. Give it a read and decide what fits best for your group!

We want to give a particular mention to two categories:

1. The Ted Ward Trophy for the Best Walking Float

The Nottingham 22nd Boys Brigade have been undefeated in this category for upwards of five years and are due some competition!

Have a look at their entry from this year, their magnificent Noah's Ark. Could you beat it?

2. The Claire Dodds Trophy for the Best Carnival Display

This category was introduced in 2024 to recognise how the Royal Oak has been going above and beyond in their Best Dressed Shop Window competition entries. Best Carnival Display is perfect for those businesses that want to go that extra mile.

Check out how the Royal Oak was transformed this July. Give them a run for their money in 2025!

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to get in contact with us via email or on Facebook!

Everyone in Radcliffe is a winner!

Fantastic Entertainment for everyone at Radcliffe Carnival

Great entertainment programme planned at Radcliffe Carnival

Come and join us for a fabulous afternoon of family friendly fun!

There's something for every member of the family at the Radcliffe on Trent Carnival tomorrow, and just about all of Radcliffe's many activities will be represented in the Procession, Stalls and taking part in the Entertainment. 

So come along and support Simply Dance and the Infant School Choir; we know they have been practising very hard.
