Final countdown to Swanage Carnival

The event will take place from 28 July to 4 August and will include music, sport, fireworks, fun events and the carnival procession, which has the theme ‘Swanage Goes Safari.’

The 2018 Swanage Carnival Queen is Amey Towner, 15, who said she was “very excited” at winning the title.

She added, “I’m really looking forward to the whole week but particularly taking part in the procession.”

This year’s carnival queen contest was sponsored by Ellis Jones Solicitors.

Partner, Craig Wells said, “As a law firm rooted in Swanage, it’s a real pleasure to support a fantastic community event which generates such a ‘feel good’ factor.”

Last year’s Swanage Carnival raised £25,600 which was distributed to 25 charities.
