A huge thank you to The Cellar Bar for sponsoring this year’s Swanage Carnival Gig Race! 🌊🚣🍻

The Cellar Bar is the perfect spot to grab yourself a drink and watch as the gigs race across Swanage Bay in one of Carnival week’s most exciting events.

With plenty of atmosphere both on and off the water, it’s a fantastic way to spend a summer evening during Carnival week. Cheers to The Cellar Bar for supporting Swanage Carnival and helping make these brilliant events possible! 🍺

We’re still looking for a sponsor for this year’s Swanage Carnival Community Corner ❤️

Each morning during Carnival week, the Community Corner brings people together with fun, energetic and inclusive activities for all ages to get involved in — from Pilates on the beach and Cuban dancing to Zumba, martial arts demonstrations, aerobics and stretch sessions.

It’s one of the best ways we showcase amazing local talent while encouraging everyone to join in, have fun and start the day with a smile ☀️

Could your business help support this fantastic part of Carnival week? Sponsoring the Community Corner is a brilliant way to support community wellbeing, local groups and one of Swanage Carnival’s most interactive spaces.

A huge thank you to Harlees for sponsoring the Team Raven Air Display at this year’s Swanage Carnival!

We’re incredibly grateful for the support of local businesses like Harlees, helping us bring spectacular free entertainment to Swanage Carnival week. 🍟✈️

Team Raven are the UK’s premier civilian formation aerobatic display team, flying seven incredible RV-8 aircraft in breathtaking close-formation routines packed with precision flying, smoke trails, dynamic manoeuvres and high-energy aerobatics over Swanage Bay. Formed in 2014, the team has displayed across Europe and is believed to be the world’s largest civilian fully aerobatic display team. (Swanage Carnival⁠)

This promises to be one of the highlights of Carnival week and we can’t wait to see the skies above Swanage come alive on Saturday 25th July!

Be sure to show your support for Harlees Fish & Chips when you’re in town during Carnival week. 💙
