We’re looking for our Queen for this year’s Carnival (year 6 or above) on Saturday 15th June, plus two princes and two princesses (aged from 5 to 10). All must live in Water Orton.

If you would like to enter your child please include their name, address and a recent photograph which will appear in our programme.

Clsoing date for applications is  Monday 25th February and the draw will take place at Water Orton Primary School on Friday 1st March.

Please send applications to: Mandi Collins, 148 Coleshill Road, Water Orton.

Our 4th Black Tie Ball and Golf Day will be held on Saturday 11th May, once again sponsored by our friends at Northfield Construction. Both events to be held at West Midlands Golf Club (Barston Lakes), Solihull B92 0LB. The evening will include a 3 course meal followed by a live covers band, Mother Popcorn. All proceeds will go towards the sustaining of the Carnival and to bursaries to local voluntary organisations.

Event Details

Both the Black Tie Ball and the Golf Day take place on Saturday 11th May. The cost for the ball is £37.00 per head to include a 3 course meal and a live band, whilst the Golf Day will be also be £37.00, to include a bacon roll and coffee on registration.

Dress code for the ball is black tie for the gents and dress to impress for the ladies – the perfect excuse for a new outfit!

Best of all, there’s no need to worry about how you’re getting to the ball and back, because you can choose to be collected from either The Digby or The Dog by coach and dropped back at the same place at the end of the evening at an additional cost of £10.00 per person. Coaches will collect at approximately 6:45 pm and drop off around 1:15 am. Whether you go by coach or make your own way there, we would ask that you are seated for food by 7:30 pm.

The golf day and the black tie ball are separate events, so you can come to either, or both if you prefer!

Don’t miss out!

Wanted! Groups, organisations or even a bunch of friends interested in a float for Water Orton Carnival 2019.

Don’t worry about supplying the lorry – The Carnival Committee will provide it for you.

Look at these fabulous floats and outfits from 2014 when the theme was ‘Decades’.

The number of floats for last year’s Carnival was a little disappointing, so this year we have decided not to have a theme as such, instead it is ‘Anything Goes’, to offer more flexibility and hopefully encourage more people to take part.

So, gather a group together, have a think and showcase your creative flair with a float on the procession route through Water Orton on Saturday 16th June. There’s even a money prize for 1st, 2nd and 3rd judged floats.

Walking Fancy Dress Procession

If you ‘re not on a float, but would still like to take part, we are also encouraging a fancy dress walking procession too. Note that as it is a moving procession along the road, all children would need to be accompanied by an adult.

If you are interested in a float, then please e-mail this address or contact Mandi Collins on 07803 789706.

2018’s official Water Orton Carnival Sleigh Run takes place on Sunday 16th December.

Santa and his helpers will be assembling at Mytton Road ready to start their tour around the village from 12 noon and with so many excited children to see and generous donations from the village residents to receive, Santa probably won’t be finished until quite late. You can see the route Santa takes here.

If you fancy joining us for what is always a fun day full of festive cheer, why not get in touch?

It will certainly get you in the Christmas spirit (quite literally, as Santa likes to spread his cheer in the village hostelries too) and we always appreciate some extra helpers along the route, for however much time you can give. If you can help,  please call Mandi on 07803 789706

If you see us on our way around, don’t forget to give us a wave – we look forward to seeing you when we’re out and about!
