Excitement is building to this year's Carnival set to bring a riot of colour to the streets of Pudsey with its theme 'World Food and Costume.' The Parade sets off at 12:00 noon and winds its way back to Queen's Park where a fun packed day is planned alongside Raymond Eddy's Fun Fair which opens Wednesday 14 May.
This year
we are delighted to offer a limited number of sheltered pitches to local
charitable organisations thanks to Pudsey Civic Society funding a marquee.
A spokesperson for the Society said 'We aim to support the rich heritage
of the old Pudsey Borough alongside its present and future interests and
Pudsey Carnival has a long tradition enjoyed by the entire community. The
marquee will enable new groups to showcase their voluntary work to the thousands
expected to attend.'
Topping the Bill this year will be Dingle Fingle's Clown Town CrimeWatch. Help him
catch Slippery Sid the classic car thief.
Also sponsoring the event are Lindley Clough, a local firm of solicitors based in Lowtown, Marks and Spencer, Asda and JCT600.

SSAFA provide support for the serving men and women in today's Armed Forces
and for those who have served - even if it was only for a single day. We
also care for the needs of their families and dependants.
A
proportion of the proceeds from the 2008 carnival will also be donated to
the R.S.P.C.A.
