The event takes place on Saturday, July 9, with a theme chosen by public ballot of Musicals.

In 2021 as Covid restrictions eased it was deemed too soon to hold the usual carnival party in Parson's Close Recreation Ground because of the large crowds that would be anticipated, but the procession did go ahead. The previous year a virtual procession featuring children’s artwork was created on the carnival website and Facebook page.

But for 2022 carnival is back to its full glory, with the procession leaving Mentmore Road, after judging, at 11.30am and will follow the pre-pandemic route arriving at Parsons Close at about 1pm.
