HADFIELD CARNIVAL - full details

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.

The carnival season has begun which can only mean that Summer is just around the corner. In fact it's been such a glorious weekend that maybe, just maybe, it's already begun in earnest but don't say it too loudly.

Next Sunday June 7th is the date for the Hadfield Carnival, so put it in your diary and keep a few hours spare in the afternoon. The fun commences at midday and the theme for this year is the Wild West. Anyone bringing pets along to the Pet Show (from 12.30pm) are advised that it would be wise to take them home soon afterwards due to the fact that there will be noise (presumably from replica guns) which can be quite loud and scary for some animals.

I should mention that there will be a parade from Newshaw Lane at 11.30pm and that there will be fun for all the family but no need to say anymore as the leaflet says it all really and there is a contact number at the foot of the leaflet, in case of any queries. See you there.
