Welcome to Knockholt Carnival 2010

The Knockholt Carnival is one of the largest village carnivals in South East England, attracting between 7,000 and 10,000 visitors from all parts of the region. Apart from a short break during the 1980s, the Knockholt Carnival has taken place every other year since it started in the 1950s.

It’s a great day out for all the family. People of all ages come to watch the mile-long, fantastic, parade of homemade floats, as it weaves its way through this historic village on the North Downs. Each Carnival has its own theme and in 2010 this will be ‘Down to Earth’ which, as usual, will be imaginatively and often hilariously reflected in the parade.

After the parade, people spend the afternoon in Knockholt village where there is a traditional country fair on the recreation ground with well over 100 stalls and attractions. Visit our Photo Gallery to see images of past Carnivals.

Knockholt Carnival is planned, organised and delivered by the Carnival Committee, made up of local people from Knockholt and its neighbouring villages of Halstead and Cudham. The Committee also organises other fundraising events between Carnivals and all profits go to local good causes and a nominated charity. In recognition of its valuable work throughout the South East, our chosen charity once again, is the
Kent and Sussex Air Ambulance Service
