What a great day that was!

Verwood’s 2022 carnival was a great success this year at its new location at Potterne Park.

See below for pictures capturing this community event enjoyed by all on Friday 3rd June 2022.

The weather was excellent, the parade fantastic, the entertainment in the arena amazing, as well as the fun fair.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making Carnival day a success, both those involved in the organisation and everyone who supported us on the day.

Thanks to all who contributed to the excellent carnival procession and for the floats from Verwood Guides, Verwood Hillside First School, Verwood Youth Club The Hive, Verwood Pantomine Society and to the providers of the transport for these fantastic floats.

On the arena we had Stannage Stunt Team, Mad4Animals, Circus Avago, Mr Merlin, The Tug of War team, and thanks to the bar tent, managed by The Mortgage Place and their accompanying support band Fayrewood.
