Amazing day at Shirley Carnival! Thank you to everyone who came and supported us and took part in the fantastic entertainment. There were too many entertainers to thank you all but you put on a great show and worked particularly hard considering the heat. Thank you to the Deputy Mayor and Deputy Mayoress it was great to have you come along.

Thanks to all our supporters Shirley Lions love putting on Carnival which we have now done for 45 years. If you would like to get involved in making sure that this tradition can continue please get in touch we love to have new members

Shirley Lions have been putting up posters for Carnival this Saturday 11th July. Unfortunately due to the heat we have again had to cancel the Dog Show part of the afternoon. But together with great arena acts including a Falconry display and an overall Vikings theme we have great games and stalls for all the family. New Shirley Lions stalls include a great jigsaw sale only £1.50 each and a new football game - practice taking penalties for England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 All the information is on our website https://www.shirleylions.co.uk/events/shirleycarnival.html
