Lostwithiel Carnival

16/12/2025

While you’re all getting ready for the big man in red to deliver the presents 🎅🎁
the Carnival elves are already hard at work planning a fantastic Lostwithiel Carnival next year ✨🎉

Don’t forget — this is the time to ask for those Carnival bits…
🎈 something for your pram race
🎭 an outfit to adorn yourself in Carnival glory
🚣‍♂️ or maybe… just maybe…
The Chatham could ask for a floating raft? Aye chaps? 😉🍻

Dream big, plan early — Carnival will be here before you know it ❤️🎪

Who’s already eyeing up the pram race 2026 like “yeah… this year we’re ACTUALLY gonna win it”?
Because SAME. 😂

Christmas is coming… so if you’re planning a kart with zero budget and a lot of hope – maybe pop a little note to Santa. 🎅✨
Ask him for wheels that don’t fall off, a chassis that isn’t held together with pure vibes, and a driver who can steer after two pints.

Get plotting, Lostwithiel!
2026 pram race champions are born now, not the night before with duct tape and swear words 🤣
