👑✨ CARNIVAL QUEEN ANNOUNCEMENT COMING SOON! ✨👑

The countdown is on! We are delighted to announce that our 2026 Presteigne Carnival Queen alongside her attendants will be revealed very soon. Keep your eyes on our page for the big announcement! 🎉

For those who may not know, the tradition of the Carnival Queen dates back many decades and has long been an important part of community carnivals across the UK. The role is not about beauty or popularity, but about representing the spirit of the carnival and the local community.

Our Carnival Queen acts as an ambassador for Presteigne Carnival, leading the procession, attending community events, and helping to celebrate everything that makes our town special. Alongside her attendants, she plays a key part in one of Presteigne’s most treasured traditions.

We can’t wait to introduce this year’s Queen and attendants to you all! 👑❤️
