Woodley carnival is a one-day event only, but it’s packed with various activities for any taste. You’ll be able to enjoy a bunch of shows, like photography, dog, flower, and even a car exhibition. Local professionals in different industries have also prepared their special-edition exhibits, such as acrobatics, engine, petting farm, and railway displays.
The main arena offers a bunch of cool activities. But, first, join thousands of people in the annual procession, which kicks off at 11 am. You can either participate yourself or watch it from the roadside—either way, it’s a one-of-a-kind experience. The procession normally takes around 2-2,5 hours and ends around noon.
Famous British bands will perform on stage during the evening concert (around 6 pm), so you’ll be able to dance all you want. The concert is then followed by spectacular fireworks. Be sure to also check out the carnival bar, food, and funfair zones. And if you wish to bring your children along, Woodley carnival will have free kids' activities.
The first Woodley carnival took place back in 1960 and has been held annually since. It’s a super popular event both among locals and tourists, so the organizers have prepared useful heritage information booths to dive deeper into the festival’s long history. Make sure you don’t miss the party and book your accommodation in advance.
