Shirley Carnival  

Shirley Carnival

 

Shirley Carnival is the major community event for Shirley and the surrounding area and this year’s Carnival, organised by Shirley Lions Club for the 36th consecutive year, will be held on Saturday 13th July in Shirley Park which is in the centre of Shirley

Carnival Chairman, Lion Phil Rippington said “the Carnival always has two objectives. Not only does it raise tens of thousands of pounds for charity it also provides a great family day out”

With over 50 charity and trade stalls, fun fair rides and a full afternoon of entertainment in the arena there will something to suit all ages. This year’s arena events start off with the traditional Shirley Pipe Band followed by local majorettes, dance and musical groups. The very young have not been forgotten as Punch & Judy will also be in attendance.

All stallholders retain their income for their own particular cause and a couple of local Lions Clubs are already booked in to attend. Pitch fees for Lions Clubs at £15 are 50% of the fee for all other stallholders, so why not come along and raise some funds for your Club as well as having a great day out.
