Welcome to the Warwick Town Carnival Website

Saturday 26th June 2010
Theme: To be decided by competition!

More details to follow soon.
And what a day we had last year!
Sunshine, some great floats with huge effort from the entrants and music from the the Warwick Girls Marching Bands, including their re-union band! Did you remember it being that much hard work girls?
The event which is organised by volunteers of the Warwick Lions Club and is a fund raising event for the Lions charity, drew huge crowds all through the town. This year we have raised over £4500 of which 90% of all the money raised is used for local good causes.

The procession theme for this year was Warwick by the Sea and was judged by the Warwick Mayor, Coun Peggy Bennett and the then Lion President Pauline Fanti. See the results page for the winners.

Once again a big thankyou goes one of the carnivals best supporters, Gary (and his brother David) Rist Transport for supplying the trucks and his team of drivers.

This years carnival queen and princess were in the lead procession cars supplied by Ryland BMW as well as the Mayor of Warwick who travelled in a BMW X5 4x4. The Lions President was driven in style in a privately owned car of the Jaguar Owners club.

The Pub Tug-of-War challenge drew teams from the local area, fighting for the much sort after Trophy and of course the barrel of beer as first prize, generously donated by the Warwickshire Beer Company. Some serious competition resulted in some great pulls with a fantastic final between the Vine Inn and the Boars Head of Hampton Lucy, cheered on by the crowds.

Another fascinating display of some of the largest birds of prey was again a great crowd pleaser. Amazing how close those birds can get to you and at such speed! Luckily no small children where carried out of the arena!

Hope you will join us again in 2010 to make the event grow bigger and better. If you would like to get involved more, we are always grateful of the help and perhaps you have ideas to make it better! Crowd safety during the procession, traffic control and collecting money takes more people than the club alone can provide, so your help would be most welcome. We are of course supported by our local constabulary who take care of the traffic control, but even so there are more junctions than police! Can you spare some time?

Want to put something back into the community, have some fun and join a friendly bunch for various social nights out? Join Us.
