Carnival Gig Night - Saturday 25th October

2025 Carnival

Welcome to Whitstable Carnival

Cap'n Sam

Please help...

2025 was our 128th Carnival!

That’s 128 years of joy, colour, and community spirit. How amazing!

And here’s the honest truth: unless we raise funds, we won’t make it to 130 years. It costs around £8,000 to put on the carnival each year. We don’t have corporate backers or magic funding.

Just us, a bunch of hard-working volunteers doing it all for love. We don’t get paid but we do have community pride and the belief that this tradition matters.

We’ve got new volunteers this year who’ve been incredible, but we need more hands on deck. And we need you.… yes, you reading this website… to help us keep going.

Even £2 makes a difference. There’s a QR code here that links directly to our Give A Little page.

Please, scan it or click the button, and give what you can.
