Carnival


Acocks Green’s Community Event of the Year is busy being planned.  Every year the Carnival offers a wide variety of local groups the opportunity to come together in one place to stage a great family event with entertainment, activities, lots of stalls and refreshments.  Below is all the information about the Carnival and how you can get involved or promote it to anyone who may be interested.

The procession through Acocks Green Village has the theme Super Heroes this year, leaving from Archbishop Ilsleys, Victoria Rd at 1pm and arriving at the site, on Westley Road recreation ground, at around 1.30pm.

Acocks Green Carnival has been taking place for over 30 years.  As is the tradition it is on the first Saturday of July at Westley Road Recreation Ground.  

Its always a lively and fun day starting with a parade of floats, bands and representatives from local groups.  The theme for the parade this year is Science Fact and Fiction.
