It costs over £240,000 each year to put on Swanage Carnival, and preparations for this year’s Carnival are already well underway.
Swanage Carnival is proudly run entirely by volunteers, with no paid staff, ensuring that funds raised are used as effectively as possible. The event is funded primarily through sponsorship and donations, and once all essential costs are covered, every additional pound raised is reinvested directly into local charities and good causes.
By supporting Swanage Carnival, sponsors and advertisers gain high-profile exposure to a wide and engaged audience while aligning their brand with one of the area’s most popular community events. Our sponsorship and advertising packages offer excellent value and flexible options designed to maximise your business visibility and marketing impact.
For 2026, advertising for Swanage Carnival will be coordinated by a dedicated team of Carnival volunteers. This means that 100% of advertising proceeds will go directly to Swanage Carnival, supporting our chosen charities and good causes.
We offer a range of sponsorship packages to suit every budget, providing outstanding opportunities to promote your business to a wide and engaged audience. We are also happy to work with you to create a tailored sponsorship package that meets your specific needs and objectives.
Our Sponsorship and Advertising rates can be found on our sponsorship page.
