Local people and businesses needed to take part in Melksham Carnival

Plans for this year’s Melksham Carnival, which will be held on Saturday 28th July, are in full swing.

Becky, Melksham Carnival Committee chair said, “Last year’s carnival was the biggest yet and we would like to keep building on that, but we need your help. Entries are open for the carnival procession, so whether you are a group, business or individual, give it some thought and come and join the fun. It doesn’t have to be a float, you could do up a bike, a trolley or just walk.

“Every year, the Carnival is the biggest event in the Melksham town calendar. Thousands line the streets, which makes it a brilliant opportunity to promote your businesses or clubs.

“We have a suggested theme this year of “Up and Away” to raise awareness of Wiltshire Air Ambulance. However if your plans are well under way or you have your own ideas, please feel free to continue with them.”

Forms are available to download on the Carnival website melkshamcarnival .co.uk and the committee ask for forms to be filled in and returned as soon as possible.

Christine, Carnival press officer said, “We would also like to call out to any local business that would like to advertise in this year’s carnival programme or would like to sponsor the carnival with much-needed funds.

“It’s a great way to show your support for the town, as well as an ideal advertising opportunity. Melksham Carnival brings the whole town together and is loved by so many people, but support and funding from local businesses is the only way we can keep this tradition going.”
