Saturday 11th of September - Higginson Park
​
Saturday 11th September saw the much anticipated return of our Marlow Carnival in Higginson Park after a Covid enforced break in 2020. Marlow Carnival has been held annually for 45 years and is organised by the Marlow Community Association, and all the monies raised goes to local charities.  
 
The event featured music and entertainment on 3 different stages, funfair, magic show, food and drinks, a poetry competition and over 40 stalls from local charities, community groups and traders. The nice weather brought a great turnout as locals and visitors from further afield enjoyed all the activities on offer.
Joy Morrissey MP visited the event for the first time and enjoyed experiencing the local engagement.
Marlow FM was broadcasting live from the carnival throughout the day with all the bands playing live on radio and the Marlow FM presenters providing chat, interviews and music in between.
A new addition this year was 20 of the stalls creating a “Green Village” where groups and companies like Transition Town Marlow, Wild Marlow, Four State and more were grouped together with the acoustic Busker Stage to create a fantastic festival vibe with a focus on environmental and sustainability matters.
 
For the second year running the Carnival featured a poetry/writing competition, with the theme being ‘Mashed up fairy-tales, myths and legends’. There were an extraordinary amount of entries, all of which were superb and showed how creative and articulate local young people are!
The competition was judged by guest judges Robert Thorogood and Julie Carlyle-Hoggan.

We can’t wait for next year's Carnival, thank you so much to all who attended the evnt and all those who helped make it happen. Put the date in your diary for next year, we'll be back on September 17th 2022.
