Exmouth Carnival

Will take place on Saturday 12th October and the precession starts at about 7pm (see adverts for precise time) in the day there is an all day fun event in the Strand that will whet the apetites of all and sundry ready for the main event in the evening. carnival in Exmouth has a long tradition which goes back to pre-war days but the procession really took off when in 1995 it was taken over by a new committee who rescued it from virtual bankruptcy and turned it al round into the success that we see today. That committee retired in 2007 and handed on to another committee all of their savings and quite a lot of equipment and goodwill to enable carnival to go forward from strength to strength. A short experiment by the Exmouth Chamber of trade and Commerce to run an alternative carnival floundered after only three years as they didn't make enough money to keep it going without the drive that came from the carnival committee, so it folded. Exmouth Carnival is a member of the East Devon carnivals group and their website can be found at the following link
