elcome To Swanage Carnival, The World’s Largest, Grandest, Bestest, Most Magnificent, Greatest Festival The Land Has Ever Seen…
Gasp at the World Famous Red Arrows in a series of most marvelous Mid-Air Feats and Startling Performances, The Greatest Magnificent, Processional Spectacle ever seen, Wonderful Knockout Games, Stunning Fireworks of every kind, Sensational High Flying Red Devil Parachutists, Titan the Robot and many other Musical Performances, Games, Thrilling Feats, Spectacles & Aquatic Entertainment… with over 100 events throughout the week we have a Show for every Carnival Fan to enjoy!
Everything you see, hear and enjoy this week has been made possible through the fund raising, organisation and sheer determination of my brilliant Carnival Committee. Why not join our team, have great fun throughout the year and be part of Carnival week?
Last year Swanage Carnival donated nearly £26,000 to charities and good causes. In addition to our 23 chosen charities and good causes, the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance and the Swanage Stroke Club receive an annual donation, and my nominated 2012 charity is CLIC Sargent Children’s Cancer Charity.
Enjoy Our magnificent, Stupendous Occasion… let’s raise a whole lot of money for good causes with a pound or two in the collecting buckets whenever you see our madcap ‘Red Shirts’. LETS GO FOR CARNIVAL GOLD!

Child ‘Stay Safe’ Message: Carnival events attract large crowds and there is a possibility of children becoming separated from relatives and friends.
Help keep them safe with 3 simple steps: 1. Identify a specific meeting point with your child/children 2. Attach identity wristbands 3. Provide your child/children with your mobile phone number
Wristbands are available at the Carnival Caravan & the Tourist Information Centre on the Seafront.
Please remember: Swanage Regatta & Carnival does not accept responsibility for unaccompanied children at any of its events.
For the Enjoyment of our Carnival Please Note that:
Swanage Regatta and Carnival and Active Publishing make every effort to ensure that the times and venues of the events listed in the programme are accurate. From time to time it may be necessary to make changes. When this happens, details of changes will be displayed at the Carnival Information Caravan on the Seafront.
Every care is taken to ensure that everyone will enjoy the many events that have been arranged for your entertainment. Wherever there is a large gathering of members of the public, there will inevitably be risks. Swanage Regatta & Carnival has conducted a risk assessment of each of the events, however, safety is the responsibility of us all. We ask, therefore, that you all make every effort to ensure that you do not compromise your own safety or that of anyone else. In particular you are requested to keep all children under close supervision. Please follow any instructions that you may be given by our marshals.
