Late last year we were saddened to hear of the passing of our Vice President & former Treasurer, Anthony Barrell. The Carnival Committee has established the Anthony Barrell Award in his memory & we are pleased to announce the winner of this award in 2023 is St. Nicholas' School.

Sharyn Wheale was a long-serving councillor, representing Fleet East for almost 32 years & elected Chairman of the Council twice. The Sharyn Wheale Councillor's Award has been created in her memory & this year, we are pleased to announce the winner is Heatherside Infant School.

In 2019, we introduced a peoples choice Carnival award in memory of Sasha Forster. The Sasha Forster Award is made each year to the procession entry that is voted most popular by the public and for 2023, we're delighted to announce the winner is Elvetham Heath Primary School.

Hip Hip Hooray, it's #FleetCarnival day! Kick off is at 10am on Calthorpe Park with food & drink, things to buy & fun to be had with Traditional Fete Games. Then it's the procession, live music, funfair & Dog Show. Whenever you join us, you're sure of a good time! #Community

If it rains, bring a brolly - if it pours, wear your wellies - if the sun shines, wear sunblock - if it's scorching add a hat & keep well hydrated. Whatever the weather - let's make sure we all stay safe so we can have a fun time at #FleetCarnival tomorrow! #Community #SunSafe

Reminder that @FleetLions volunteers will be manning rolling road closures tomorrow while the #FleetCarnival procession moves through town. Thanks to the Lions for their ongoing support of Carnival! #Community
