THIS SATURDAY! Chippenham Carnival returns and we can’t wait! The Melt Bars team will also be serving up deliciously cold drinks in The Dome on Island Park.
Another fun, free and inclusive event to come to our wonderful town! ☀️ 🍻 🫶🏼
📣 Chippenham Carnival returns this Saturday (4th July) bringing a packed day of entertainment and family fun to the town centre. 🎉
Festivities begin at 2pm when the Mayor officially opens the Carnival Village in Island Park. Visitors can enjoy live music and performances throughout the afternoon, along with food and drink vendors, stalls and also take part in the window spotting competition taking place across the town centre.
Jennings Fairground will be in Monkton Park, adding to what promises to be a fantastic day for all ages.
The highlight of the day will be the carnival procession, featuring more than 300 participants. The procession leaves Wiltshire College on Cocklebury Road at 5.30pm, travelling through the town centre before returning to Island Park, where celebrations will continue until 8.30pm.
As well as enjoying the celebrations, visitors are encouraged to bring some loose change for the official charity bucket collection. Funds raised will support Doorway Wiltshire, Chippenham Foodbank and the Chippenham Carnival Fund.
A huge thank you goes to the incredible volunteers who have spent months working to bring the carnival back to Chippenham. From planning and fundraising to marshalling and supporting activities on the day, this event simply wouldn’t happen without you. We think you are amazing! 💜
