Join the Fun at Farnham Carnival
Farnham Carnival simply would not be the same without the energy, spirit and goodwill of our community. It is a celebration created by all of us, for all of us – and every entry adds to the magic of the day.
We warmly encourage you to secure your place as soon as possible. Whether you’re planning to join the parade, book a stand in Gostrey Meadows, or lend a helping hand to the Carnival committee, we would be delighted to have you involved.
We look forward to seeing the creativity, humour and community spirit that make Farnham Carnival such a special event year after year.
Farnham Carnival 2026
~~~ STAGE AND SCREEN ~~~
Theme has been influenced by John Logie Baird’s first public demonstration of TV transmission – January 1926 and the 50th Anniversary of the first Olivier Awards (1976) . Floats could be inspired by movies or screen icons, stage plays such as Lion King, Paddington or even pantomime!
The Farnham Carnival, run by the Hedgehogs of Farnham, will feature a spectacular Parade with around 40 floats winding through the town, along with a lively Fayre filling Gostrey Meadow.
Come and join the fun on Saturday, 27th June, when the town will be buzzing with excitement. Don’t miss out on this fun-tastic event!
