Donate to Save the Carnival

Each year we face ever higher costs to stage the event, and in these tough times corporate sponsorship is hard to find. If you can donate a small amount it will go a little way to ensuring that we make Carnival day the biggest day in the Hanwell calendar.

Thanks from the Hanwell Carnival committee

Music & Performance

We have two performance areas. The main Music Stage features bands spanning the range of popular music. Sometimes they're local, sometimes they aren't.

The Community Stage at the bandstand showcases local talent in music, dance, sports etc. The stage is curated by Westside Radio, Hanwell's community radio station, who scour the Ealing area for the very best to present to you.

The Parade

The Parade gets Hanwell Carnival off to a spectacular start on carnival day. A procession of floats, vintage vehicles, dressed-up Hanwellians, cycles, schools, marching bands, mobility scooters and anything else you can think of winds through Hanwell, as the cheering crowds line the streets.

We welcome entries from schools, community organisations, local businesses, official groups, marching bands, etc. The more the merrier! And it’s all FREE!

The Stalls

We have numerous trade & charity stalls and caters.

Craft Tent

The Craft Tent is a very popular feature of the Carnival, filled with jewellery and arts and crafts. The majority of our crafters are local to Hanwell and Ealing, and we aim to ensure that we have a good mixture of products on the day.

The Dog Show

The dog show has been a part of Carnival for as long as anyone can remember and is always a very popular event.

Animal Zone

The animal zone has lots to keep the children (and adults) entertained from small furry things and reptiles to donkeys.

Fun Fair

A big part of the carnival is the funfair with rides for all the family.
