What’s On
Your guide to what’s happening at Aldeburgh Carnival.
THE PROGRAMME OF EVENTS
Organising the Carnival is a continuous process and we are already looking forward to 2022 when the 78th Carnival will be held on 13, 14 and 15 August. Engaging the services of a military band is in hand, and we are talking to sponsors and performers who want to be part of the Saturday afternoon music event. After a two-year break, we will undoubtedly be looking for new volunteers and anyone who is interested in helping to run this fantastic event which raises so much money to help local organisations. We would love to receive an email from anyone who would like to help – info@aldeburghcarnival.com!
Whilst there will be no Aldeburgh Carnival again this year, in keeping with its tradition of providing family fun for residents and visitors alike, the organisers have arranged some free competitions for the August holiday period:
Running for the whole of August 2021
