WHAT IS BARNSTAPLE CARNIVAL?
Established since 1931
Barnstaple Carnival will be returning on Saturday 19th September 2026!
We are hard at work putting everything in place for the big day but there is one thing we need more than anything … YOU!!
We want this year’s carnival to be packed with members of the community dressed to the nines and joining in with the carnival spirit. So now’s the time to start thinking about your entry! Whether you want to enter as a family group, society, club, business or on your own, we want you to be involved.
