We'd like to say a massive thank you to the lovely Ashleigh and Debbie from Clinique and Estee Lauder cosmetics at Banburys Department Store Barnstaple

They made the Carnival Queens, Molly-Rose Browning and Gracie Roper feel extra special on the day by giving them a makeover and supplying products. Thanks so much for your time and effort, it was very much appreciated!

A STATEMENT FROM BARNSTAPLE CARNIVAL 2025.

🌧️ Yesterday’s cancellation was never an easy decision and certainly not one we took lightly. The welfare of everyone involved always comes first, and the team who spent so long organising the carnival made the call with everyone’s safety in mind.

🙏 A huge thank you to all the volunteers who dedicated their time to make this event truly amazing. Without you, we couldn’t have even begun to create what we did, regardless of the outcome.

🎪 And of course, a heartfelt thank you to all the stallholders, sponsors, and those who signed up for the procession. We know it was disappointing for all of you, and we truly appreciate your understanding.

As much as we’d love to reschedule the event for another time this year, sadly, due to the costs involved and the unrecoupable expenses, we’re unable to do so. But please come back next year—it’ll be bigger, better, and let’s all pray for sunshine! ☀️
