The word “carnival” evokes thoughts of an annual parade. This Carnival Committee however, does far more than that – hence the name of this yearbook – “Your Yarmouth Year”. Above all, we believe in supporting this close community – the residents, the businesses and visitors alike and they, in turn, support us.
In all we run 6 events during the year starting on Shrove Tuesday with the pancake races and ending with Carols in the Square at Christmas. This year, we are also heading up the Coronation celebrations for Yarmouth and Thorley.
We are a small committee but we have an army of volunteers without whom, we could not put on the annual events. So, if you want to get involved, contact us – this can involve everything from manning the marquee in Carnival Week to catching children as they race back across the Square with their frying pans and pancakes!
Financially, we rely solely on local support and collections. If you would like to become a Friend of the Carnival, please complete the form and return it to our Treasurer – your support would be gratefully received.
