Once upon a time...
there was a carnival, an extremely popular carnival that had been held for many, many years in the lovely seaside town of Swanage.
Lots of people visited the carnival and took away lots of happy memories.
We would like to find out about your favourite stories, memories and especially to see your photos of carnivals gone by.
So post and tag us in them with @swanagecarnival or send them in directly to secretary@swanagecarnival.com
We will publish your stories, memories and photos on our social media pages and website.
Next year Swanage Carnival will return with lots of fun and games and plenty of entertainment, whilst raising money for good causes …but in the meantime let’s treasure the ones of years gone by......... ... See MoreSee Less

It’s hard work but it’s rewarding and it’s great fun , also it’s a great social friendly atmosphere !!
