IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: HANWELL CARNIVAL 2025

Dear Hanwell Community,

The organising team have regretfully decided that Hanwell Carnival will be taking a break in 2025. Rest assured, this is not the end of this cherished event - we will return bigger and better in 2026!

As one of the longest-running free carnivals in the UK, Hanwell Carnival has always been about bringing our community together to celebrate creativity, diversity and joy. However, organising an event of this scale has become increasingly challenging. Rising costs, tougher safety restrictions and a small organising team have made it difficult to sustain the Carnival without making changes.

So this year we are focusing on strengthening the foundations of the Carnival. We will be:

  • Recruiting new committee members: If you're passionate about keeping this tradition alive and want to get involved, we'd love to hear from you.
  • Fundraising: To ensure we can keep Carnival a free event for everyone, we'll be hosting fundraising activities through the year. Stay tuned for announcements!

This pause is an opportunity for us to regroup, raise essential funds and expand our team to ensure that Carnival thrives for years to come.

Thank you for your continued support. Together we can ensure this great event remains at the heart of our community.

If you would like to join the organising team or support in any way, please get in touch via the Join the Team option on the dropdown menu.

We'll see you in 2026!


Warm regards,

The Hanwell Carnival Committee

Just Giving

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.
