101 years after Little Eaton Carnival began, we're celebrating the move into our second century in style!Our legendary parade through the village takes place between 12:30-2pm, ending out St Peter's Park.
Once on the park make sure you allow time to get around all our attractions, which for the centenary include a traditional gallopers carousel and swing boats accompanied by a vintage fairground organ. There's heritage stalls such as the coconut shy, skittles, bash-a-rat and tombola, plus a penalty shoot out.
There's our very own craft fair, housed in it's own marque filled with local artisans.
Upstairs in the village hall you’ll find our carnival day tearoom, serving delicious homemade cakes, tea, coffee and cold drinks.
Underneath the village hall balcony, there’s the succulent smells from Phil the Grill’s BBQ to tempt you.
Make sure you bag a spot by the arena to catch live performances .
And of course the very event our Carnival day was born from in 1925 the Sports Races. Bring your trainers! Juniors get underway at 2:30pm. Adult races at 3:15pm. Bragging rights last all year.
PARKING: We encourage everyone to walk, scoot or cycle that can.
There is limited blue badge parking at the village hall car park.
