About Us
According to the estate agents 'Astwood Bank is a well sought after location'. More to
the point Astwood Bank is a caring and fun loving community and has held a Carnival
since the early 1900's.
Sadly in the late 1960's the Carnival ‘went to sleep’ but in 1988 the 'Carnival Spirit'
was resurrected; the main objective being that of helping to bring the community
even closer together. The idea was to stage a simple family type of event and in so
doing raise money for local charities.
As part of bringing our community together, not a penny entry fee is charged to
visitors to the Carnival Field during Carnival Day!
We rely on the funds raised
from our year round events
and on donations from the
Fairground and vendors on
the site. We are pleased to
say that this formula of
'Raising Funds for Fun' has
worked in the most amazing
way and to date we have
raised in excess of £190,000.
Every penny raised is give to
local charities who are
‘adopted’ on a year by year
basis.
