Why not start the day with the Spot the Stranger competition, which runs from 9:30am untill 2:00pm. Download your entry form here:

However, after 6 days of carnival, we hope that you will still have enough energy to support our showcase parade of talent, costumes and floats, which is open to all ages.  All entrants should assemble in the King George V Playing Field by 5:45pm for judging to start promptly at 6:00pm.

The parade will move off at 6:30 pm, led by the Mayor, Rotary President and the Town Band.  The parade will follow the main A390 to Fore Street, down around the Parade and up North Street, then down Fore Street again, over the medieval bridge and up the hill to the Earl of Chatham, pausing if necessary at the rail crossing.

Prizes for the winners will be presented in the Earl of Chatham car park, along with the Spot The Stranger competition winner.

The music will then commence with the live band Beachfield who will perform in the car park until 11:00pm.

Drinks and refreshments, including a hog roast, will be available throughout the evening.

The spectacular grand Firework display by Trelawney Fireworks will take place when it becomes dark at around 10:00pm.
