Carnival Week 2007
To give you all an idea what you missed last August a brief programme of the main events of the week have been listed on the right.

We have again added some new events, brought back some old missed out last years as well as keeping the spectacular favourites that keeps people coming back each year.

Carnival Week 2008
We will shortly begin planning for 2008. This is your opportunity to say what you like and don't like. Please make suggestions. Our primary aim is to entertain you and without your feedback we can't tell if we're making the right choices.

Similarly if you are an entertainer or performer please let us know. We do have budget restrictions but the more advance notice we have the longer we have to find the funds for an event. We look for performers, musical acts and group, dancers, arena displays and street entertainers. 

E-mail us at info-nospam@dawlishcarnival.co.uk removing the "-nospam" part of the e-mail address.

The Brief Programme
This is simply a list of the key events of each day. Out programme of events runs from 10 am to 10pm on most days, sometimes later. On top of the arena displays, marquee shows and other competitions we have stalls, fair rides, the Carnival Cafe and a bouncy castle amongst other static displays and stands for people to visit in between events.

Most events take place on the Lawn in Dawlish but other venues include Dawlish Warren, Dawlish Sea Front and the Shaftesbury Theatre to name but a few.
