Thank you to everyone who braved the rain and turned out for the Haydon Wick Parish Council Christmas Carnival! Despite the challenging weather and time change, our incredible community showed their true festive spirit with a spectacular light parade along Blunsdon Road, featuring 100 beautifully decorated and illuminated umbrellas.
What a magical sight it was, with stilt-walking angels, a fire-juggling entertainer, and Father Christmas himself leading the way! Special thanks to the Britannia Majorettes who kept everyone moving with their fantastic marching tunes.
The carnival atmosphere was made complete with food stalls, charity stands, a fun fair, and even Christmas donkeys delighting visitors throughout the evening. It was heart-warming to see so many people coming together and enjoying themselves despite the weather.
We’re already looking forward to next year’s carnival and making it even bigger and better! If you attended and would like to share your feedback or get involved in future events, we’d love to hear from you. Simply click here.
Thank you once again to everyone who helped make this event such a success – from the umbrella decorators, stall holders, performers and local business partners down to every single person who attended. You truly demonstrated what makes our community so special!
