Now, I know what you’re thinking: "Alan, if it’s free, why on earth do I need a ticket?"

It’s a great question! We have strict capacity limits for this specific zone, and we want to make absolutely sure everyone has a safe, comfortable, and unbelievably awesome time. Snagging your free ticket guarantees your spot so you don’t miss out on any of the incredible live music, entertainment, and mouth-watering food stalls!

NOTE:
Please don't confuse this with the main Carnival area at the front.

The Front Carnival Area: This is where you'll find the main fair, the thrilling rides, and all the incredible community stalls. This area is completely separate, open to everyone, and does NOT require a ticket. You can just rock up and enjoy!

The Stage & Food Area: This is a separate, dedicated zone to enjoy mouth watering food and fantastic live music from some VERY talented artists. This is the only part you need to grab these free tickets for.

Spaces are limited and they will go fast. Don't wait around- click the link, secure your free tickets right now, and let's get ready for an unforgettable day! 🚀

Let’s talk about the unsung heroes of the Carnival weekend! 🚛✨

A massive, roaring THANK YOU to the fabulous Bromsgrove District Commercial Waste Team!

This incredible crew has been supporting us for the past few years, and honestly, the difference they make to the cleanliness of the park is astonishing. Keeping a major event clean is no small feat, and they smash it every single time.

Even better news....You can catch them rolling through the town in the parade on Saturday 11th July! Because we all know a kid who absolutely loves waving at the bin lorry! 🤩

Give them a massive cheer when you see them pass by! Thank you for keeping our Carnival clean and tidy.

🎬 THE PERFECT FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE KIDS – TICKETS SELLING FAST! 🍿✨

If you’re looking for something different to do with the kids, we’ve got an outdoor screening of Zootropolis 2 happening at Sanders Park on Friday 10th July.

Tickets have been live for a bit now and spaces are starting to fill up, so we wanted to put out a quick reminder to grab yours if you haven't yet. We’ve kept it as cheap as we can - it's £2 for kids and £3 for adults (plus the usual booking fees), and we’ve also managed to secure free parking on the back field for everyone.

Every penny made from the tickets goes right back into the Carnival fund to help cover the massive costs of running Saturday’s main event, so you’re supporting a good cause just by turning up.

A few quick details for the day:

Gates open at 4:00 PM so you can come down early, get a good spot on the grass, and set up your camp chairs.

The film starts at 5:00 PM.

We’ve got local food stalls and a bar on site so you don't have to worry about cooking Friday night tea!

If you want to come along, you can book your slots on Skiddle here: https://www.skiddle.com/e/42349587

Behind every great Carnival, there’s a small army of absolute legends! 🧡

It’s Volunteers' Week, and we want to take a moment to say the biggest THANK YOU to the incredible team who make the Bromsgrove Carnival happen.

These are some of the faces of the brilliant crew who run the show behind the scenes on the day, keeping everything moving, safe, and smiling! ☀️

But the magic doesn't just happen in July. We also want to give a massive shout-out to the handful of heroes who don't appear in this photo, the ones who turn up to the meetings, do the planning, and smash the prep work in the months leading up to the main event too. You might not see them, but the Carnival simply wouldn't exist without them!

Our team really goes above and beyond... Not all of our volunteers live in Bromsgrove. In fact, some travel from outside Worcestershire, one travels all the way from Wales each year, and one even lives in sunny Malta! Talk about dedication!

From the prep to the cleanup, every single one of you gives up your time to support 100's of local charities & businesses and brings our town together every year. You are the absolute heart of Bromsgrove.

Drop a 🧡 in the comments to show our volunteers some love!

🚀 ATTENTION BROMSGROVE BUSINESS OWNERS: BE THE HERO OF 2026!

The Bromsgrove Carnival is more than just a parade - it’s the heartbeat of our community. But as costs rise and local events around us disappear, we need local partners to help us keep the wheels turning.

Are you a business owner who wants to give back AND get your brand noticed by thousands of local residents?

We aren't just looking for a handout; we’re looking for partners. Whether it's direct sponsorship or providing essential infrastructure (transport, equipment, printing, or logistics), your support is what will make 2026 possible.

What’s in it for you?

-Massive Brand Exposure: Get your logo in front of the biggest crowd Bromsgrove sees all year.

-Community Hero Status: Show your customers that you truly care about the local area.

-Social Media Love: We’ll be shouting about our partners to our thousands of followers.

-The "Feel Good" Factor: You’ll be the reason the kids get their carnival day.

Don't let the carnival become a memory. If your business can help with funding or "in-kind" support, please drop us a private message or email us today at [email protected].

Let's show everyone what Bromsgrove businesses can do when they pull together! 🤝

📣 THE FUTURE OF BROMSGROVE CARNIVAL: WE NEED YOU.

We're sitting here today with a bit of a heavy heart. You might have seen the news that our neighbours over at both Stourport Carnival and Wolverley Carnival have had to make the incredibly difficult decision to cancel their 2026 events! And with Redditch Carnival also missing from the calendar for a few years now, it’s a sobering reminder that these community traditions aren't guaranteed. They don't just "happen."

The truth is, we are feeling the exact same pressures...

Running a free event on this scale for Bromsgrove is becoming a monumental mountain to climb.

We are facing:
-Skyrocketing costs for everything from insurance to lorries to stages.
-Dwindling funding - we rely solely on donations, sponsorships and stall fees. No other funding is provided.
-A tiny team of volunteers who are working their socks off behind the scenes.

We LOVE this carnival. We love seeing the streets lined with smiling faces and the incredible effort the local groups put into their floats and performances. We are doing everything humanly possible behind the scenes to keep the Bromsgrove Carnival alive and kicking for 2026.

But we can’t do it alone anymore.

If you’ve ever thought, "I’d love to help out with that," now is the time to speak up. We don't need your whole life - just a bit of your time and your passion.

How you can help:

-Volunteer: Whether it’s helping with the planning now or marshalling on the day, we need boots on the ground.

-Local Businesses: We need sponsors. If you can help us with funding, or provide infrastructure (trucks, barriers, printing), please, let’s talk. You’ll be helping save a piece of Bromsgrove history.

This is our town. This is our carnival. Let's make sure it stays that way.

Drop us a message right now if you can help...

Tag your friends and family...

Let’s keep the tradition alive! 🥂

Big up Adam for all his hard work! ❤️

One of the biggest events that takes place every year in Bromsgrove is the Bromsgrove Carnival 🎡

Between 5,000 to 7,000 locals attend, and thousands of pounds has been raised year-on-year which has been donated to a local charity as chosen by residents.

This popular event brings the community together - something that's needed more than ever.

None of this would be possible without the hard-working and dedicated volunteers who give up their time to organise this free event.

I recently met with Carnival Chairman Adam Lote to discuss all things Carnival and how I can help to support this popular event. Looking forward to next year's Carnival!

Thank you to The Event Hub for supplying the bar, food vendors, and paying the the food village! 🍔
