Calne Carnival seeks former royalty - were you a Carnival Queen?

Calne is buzzing with excitement as the town prepares for the return of CALNEVAL, the annual summer carnival, on Saturday, 28th June 2025.

This year's Calneval is taking us 'back to basics' with no formal theme - people are encouraged to be a part of the carnival in what ever fashion they desire.

Organisers at Calne Town Council are planning a fun filled day designed to evoke cherished memories and create new ones.

In a unique call to the past, the Calne Town Council is actively seeking former Calne Carnival Queens and Princesses. Were you a Calne Carnival Queen or Princess? If you’ve worn the crown in the past, they’d love to hear from you.

CALNEVAL promises to be more than just a party - it's a celebration of the Calne community.

So mark your calendars, spread the word, and get ready to party.
