Hanwell Carnival

Hanwell Carnival is 125 years old this year, and we want to make sure it carries on for another 125 if possible. 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.

The Hanwell Carnival 2024 takes place on Saturday 15 June. This year we are celebrating the 125th anniversary of the first ever carnival in Hanwell. Proceedings start off at 11am with the parade from Hanwell Community Centre. We will have all the usual attractions in Elthorne Park – music stage, animal zone, dog show, charity and trade stalls, craft tent, food stalls, licensed bar, funfair and other amusements for children. It all begins at 12 noon.

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!

Hanwell Carnival offers lots of opportunities to get involved, whether you are a charity, private company or an individual who wants to help out. With some 25,000 visitors on the day, Hanwell Carnival is the second largest in London after Notting Hill.
