Town Carnival   20th to 27th JULY 2013

In 2012 the week long event was organised in its entirety by the Executive Officer with assistance from Andrew Pouteaux and the weeks events could not have run successfully without the assistance of additional volunteers. It commenced on the 21st July with an 11am parade throughout the Town following which there was entertainment at the various performance areas in St Peter Port.This event ran until the 28th July and was funded by sponsorship and donations from Town Businesses, the public, The Arts Commision and sponsors whom wish to remain anonymous. 

The entertainment was provided by both Local and UK artists and appealed to all ages with Singers, various musicians, Punch and Judy and Clowns. The event had a budget of £42,000 which was raised by the Town Centre Partnership though sponsorship of acts and donations. The performers  entertained the crowds at a number of venues.A programme of all performances was produced in leaflet form and distributed at a number of venues.

In 2013 we are hoping to provide entertainment at the following venues; 
Market Square
Commercial Arcade (outside Dix Neuf)
High Street  (outside Creasey's)
Boots 
Moore's Hotel (both in the Pollet and in the Hideaway)
