Hadfield Carnival 2009 features the American Civil War Society
This year's Hadfield Carnival, which takes place Sunday June 7th on Newshaw Lane, starts with a Parade at 12.00am from Newshaw Lane Park, with Arnfield Brass, striking up the band and leading the procession.
The afternoon's entertainment include a pet show, fairground rides, Punch & Judy, a bucking broncho, childrens races and a coconut shy. There will be music from local bands, Rapture, Steve Roberts, Ben Stafford, Chordwainer and Daughter of Janus.
The theme and focus of the carnival will be a re-enactment of a Civil War Battle, courtesy of the American Civil War Society, replete with cannon and musket fire. It is advised that animals should therefore be kept well away once the pet show has finished.
There will also be craft stalls, a cake competition and a Tug of War Competition to end the days events. The timetable is as follows:
12.00am - Parade
12.30pm - Pet Show plus local bands commence playing.
1.30pm - Children's races.
2.30pm - Civil War Re-enactment.
Hope you can make it and that the rain stays off. Should be fun.
