The 2010 Solihull Carnival will take place on Saturday
12th June 2010.
Solihull Council have reworked the whole area of Tudor Grange Park during the
spring and summers of 2008 and 2009. All work is now complete and
Carnival 2010 will be held on Tudor Grange Park in its usual (and
proper!) location.
As well as a procession through the centre of
Solihull, lots of stalls, Bob Wilson’s fun fair and of course plenty
of entertainment, we will again hold the
'Carnival’s Got Talent'
competition. The heats for this were held on 23rd May at The
Village Hotel. Please see the
'Carnival's got Talent' page for
more information.
Other options available include entering a float in the procession,
or having a stall on the
ground. Entry forms for these can be found linked from the homepage
or on the relevant pages.
Please
keep checking this website on which we will endeavour to keep
up-to-date information as we approach Carnival.
Charities being supported in 2010
The Charities to be supported this year are:
Marie Curie, who are a well known National Organisation
HAVING Fun - Hearing And Visually
Impaired Needs Group - This is a Solihull children's special needs
support group.
Entertainment
We have now arranged a full programme of family entertainment,
and will also be holding the final of the
'Carnival's got
Talent' competition on the BRMB stage on the day. Also there are sure to be lots of traditional side stalls and of course the
ever popular Bob Wilson’s Funfair. Bob Wilson's Funfair go a long
way to supporting Carnival by providing a significant amount of
sponsorship in several ways, and without the Funfair, we do not have
enough resource to put on the event.
The Funfair will be available from the Thursday
before Carnival and will finish on the Saturday evening.
