About Wallingford Carnival
Wallingford Carnival is an annual event that takes place around the town centre
through to the Kinecroft. The Carnival has been running for over 50 years and takes
place on the third Saturday of June.
Wallingford Carnival depends entirely on volunteers, both on the day and for the
whole year before each event. We receive no official funding - all the money
needed to provide the entertainment, music, first aid cover, toilets and the
necessary costly insurance cover comes from raffle ticket sales and the
generosity of local sponsors.
The Carnival Committee work hard throughout the year to ensure that the
Carnival continues to be a spectacular all day event which involves many
parts of the town and as many people as possible.
From stalls to bands during the day, the procession through the town in
the afternoon right through to music until the
evening - the Carnival provides fun and entertainment for the whole town
and is always popular with the residents of Wallingford and visitors.
Below is a map displaying the route that the procession will take.
