We are looking for some special volunteers…. Can you help us?? This year we have x3 brilliant characters joining us across the Carnival weekend - 10th & 11th of August - and we need volunteers to bring these costumes to life. Characters play a vital role in helping us raise money for our local charities - who this year are : Hengistbury Head Outdoors @pinkchampagnedb and @the_listening_ear Last year Bluey brought home heavy donation buckets. So if you fancy helping us raise vital funds for some fantastic local charities please read on. Typically you are in the costume for about half an hour at a time and we have a changing tent in our backstage area for privacy. We are also looking for chaperones: each character needs a chaperone, their role is to carry a charity bucket, help direct the characters around (i.e ensure they don't bump into things) making sure they take regular breaks and helping with getting the costume on and off. Saturday 10th the characters will be located on Christchurch Quay, between 11 - 5 and Sunday 11th they will be located in the high street during the parade and ideally back on the Quay after the parade has finished, between 12 - 4. This is a perfect volunteer role for friends, duos or couples. If you love being a bit silly, especially around children then this is a perfect role for you. Please DM us if you are interested in bringing these characters to life or if you would like any furture information. This year our charity characters are sponsored by the fabulous @thebearburton #SaveTheDate #ChristchurchCarnival #Festival #WhatsOnDorset #CarnivalSpirit #DorsetLife #Dorset #LoveChristchurch #Christchurch #FestivalTime #VisitChristchurch #VisitDorset #FamilyActivitiesDorset #DaysOutWithTheKids #DaysOutWithKids #LiveMusic #FestivalVibe #LoveMusic #FreeEvents #FreeDaysOut #LocalSourcing #WhatsOnBournemouth #CommunityEvents #FreeActivities #DorsetMums

Can we get a big hello to our camera shy Carnival chief John! 👐 John is incredibly generous with his time as he’s not only involved with the runnings of Christchurch Carnival but he also volunteers his time at Braggers Wood Scout Camp as an assistant warden, he’s a District trustee board member and an activities instructor for Scouts. So he knows his whatnots from his knots 🤭 John is the longest serving member of Christchurch Carnival Committee, being involved since 2010. He really is a font of knowledge and everyone’s number 1 go to guy over the carnival weekend.

It’s very special to see Christchurch High Street rammed with locals and visitors lining the roads, watching the Sunday Carnival Parade go by. It’s a fantastic place to get exposure and reach a wide audience for any type of organisation. From performing arts groups, sporting clubs, kids clubs, charities to hairdressers. We would love to see even more local businesses and organisations getting involved, shaking their stuff and having some fun. If you like the idea of getting involved, but don’t know where to start, why not drop us a message, we are always happy to chat. No entry fees, we just ask you to take a charity bucket along with you.

Everyone say a big hello 👋 to the youngest member of the Christchurch carnival committee, Ryan. Ryan has volunteered for several years over the carnival weekend and finally joined as a committee member two years ago. “The best bit of the weekend has got to be the food!….and seeing all the people who come, enjoying the event.” Ryan is a key part of our road crew on Sunday morning, helping to put out the road barriers for the parade and collecting them back in at the end of the day with Tony & Kelly. There are many different ways to get involved with Christchurch Carnival, from support over the weekend to help beforehand. From litter picking, selling raffle tickets, helping with road closures or poster and leaflet distribution. There are so many ways to get involved. Take a look at our website for a full list of ways to get involved. We'd love to hear from you.

The RNLI will be back once again this year at Christchurch Carnival, so you will be able to shop the new ‘200’ range of souvenir items and help their life saving efforts at the same time. This new range is inspired by the distinctive yellow and red painted stripe around the hull of the lifeboat fleet.

Please give Fi a 👋, this was her first year with Christchurch carnival. ‘I knew I wouldn't really understand what really went into carnival until I had done the whole weekend. It was a blast, the team are fantastic, so supportive and I had such fun.’ Fi spent the whole weekend behind the camera lens, chatting to families, business owners and acts, capturing all the fun. ‘There's nothing better than watching families of all ages enjoying the festival.’ Do you love taking photos? With multiple events happening on the Sunday (11th August) across the town we could really do with a couple of volunteers that love taking photos to help us capture the fun and excitement of the dog show on the Quay and the madness of the parade in the high street.

On the Saturday you will barely see him in the main arena, spending his time greeting all the acts, doing sound checks with Rich from bigwease event services and making sure the whole crew are topped up with water and ice lollies - Swipe ➡️ On Sunday however Steve whips out his (unfortunately only metaphorical) top hat and turns ringmaster to the Staffie and Stray Rescue dog show. ‘I love dogs, so presenting the dog show is very enjoyable. The stories behind every young, old and rescued floof monster is so heartwarming.’ Are you interested in sound engineering, do you love finding new local music. Why not get in touch with us and have chat about volunteering with Christchurch Carnival. #SaveTheDate #ChristchurchCarnival #Festival #WhatsOnDorset #CarnivalSpirit #DorsetLife #Dorset #LoveChristchurch #Christchurch #FestivalTime #VisitChristchurch #VisitDorset #FamilyActivitiesDorset #DaysOutWithTheKids #DaysOutWithKids #LiveMusic #FestivalVibe #LoveMusic #FreeEvents #FreeDaysOut #LocalSourcing #WhatsOnBournemouth #CommunityEvents

Memories to be made. Lighting the flame of learning through play (with head Scout Juliet) overseeing the pyrotechnics. Big shout out to the wonderful Christchurch District Scouts for providing fun and educational challenges in their activities tent. Have you got the date of this year's Carnival in your diary yet for the best weekend of FREE family fun!! 10th & 11th of August. @christchurchtowncouncil @scouts @bcpcouncilfamilyhubs @mybcpcouncil @christchurchbid #SaveTheDate #ChristchurchCarnival #Festival #WhatsOnDorset #CarnivalSpirit #DorsetLife #Dorset #LoveChristchurch #Christchurch #FestivalTime #VisitChristchurch #VisitDorset #FamilyActivitiesDorset #DaysOutWithTheKids #DaysOutWithKids #LiveMusic #FestivalVibe #LoveMusic #FreeEvents #FreeDaysOut #LocalSourcing #WhatsOnBournemouth #CommunityEvents #FreeActivities #DorsetMums

Please say a big hello to brothers in-law Dave & Michael. For this happy duo it was their second time volunteering at the carnival - the first year they joined us on the Sunday to do a bit of litter picking and last year they migrated to join us for the whole weekend! “It's hard to pinpoint one favourite part, we really enjoyed the whole weekend, meeting so many amazing people, on both the sides of the event - the carnival team and all the happy public attending over the weekend” It's not all work, the weekend runs at a pretty relaxed pace and there's plenty of time to sample the fantastic food on offer or catch some live music. There are many different ways to get involved with Christchurch Carnival, from support over the weekend to help beforehand. From litter picking, selling raffle tickets, helping with road closures or poster and leaflet distribution. There are so many ways to be a part of Carnival. Take a look at our website for a full list of ways to get involved. We'd love to hear from 10th - 11th August 2024 - Christchurch quay #volunteers #WhatsOnDorset #dorset #carnivalspirit #WhatsOnBournemouth #dorsetlife #dorsetevents #christchurchcarnival #visitchristchurch #visitdorset #familyactivitiesdorset #daysoutwiththekids #daysoutwithkids #familyfun #supportlocal #charityfundraising #2024holidays #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #dogoodfeelgood #fundraising #volunteer #goodcause #procession #communityeffort #LoveChristchurch @BournemouthBloggers @bournemouthecho @lovexchurch @bournemouthconnect @mybcpcouncil @christchurchtowncouncil

What better way to get our 2024 carnival started than by introducing you to our excellent team of committee members and volunteers. This Kelly. She wears many hats, both behind the scenes and on the day of the carnival, boy does this girl get stuff done! Kelly has been with Christchurch Carnival since 2010 and she has overseen just about every element of carnival creation. Last year she looked after Parade AND stall applications as well as heading up the Scouts Active Support tea tent raising money to support Scouting groups in the area. We have a small team of committee members who meet through out the year and weekend volunteers that help Christchurch Carnival to run smoothly. There are many different ways to get involved with Christchurch Carnival, from support over the weekend to help beforehand. From litter picking, selling raffle tickets, helping with road closures or poster and leaflet distribution. There are so many ways to get involved.
