Fundraising is a very important aspect of Carnival - without it Carnival simply wouldn't exist... We have seen in recent years island carnivals stop completely through lack of funds. In Sandown there is a strong community spirit and our Jumble Sales and Coffee Mornings are very popular.

Christmas Bazaar

A big THANKS! to everyone who came to our Christmas Bazaar. We raised £186 which goes straight to next year's Carnival events. We hope everyone enjoyed the day!

Coffee Morning

Another big THANKS! to Culver Lodge Hotel and everyone who came to the Coffee Morning on Wednesday 31st April. We raised £101! We hope everyone enjoyed the morning and will come to the next one.

Carnival Shop

Our new shop is now open and doing very well at 3 Melville St, Sandown. Pop in and have a look around the new shop with a fun and friendly atmosphere. The shop relies on donations so if you are having a clear-out of toys, clothes or even electrical goods, please drop them in!

Hoop-La

Our Hoop-La stall came out on Christmas Eve fun day in Sandown. It was another huge success. We charged 20p for three hoops an had a large number of prizes to give away. Everyone who took part received sweets. We opened the stall at 10:30 and by 14:30 all our prizes were won and we raised £220. We will be back again this summer on the main carnival day for more Hoop-La fun!
