A major part of the Carnival’s success is the unstinting and continued support of not only the Wells people and businesses, but also from our visitors from further afield.
To make a success of Carnival requires extensive sponsorship and fund raising.
We would like to ask that everyone considers sponsoring, even if it’s just a small part of the week long event.
- Sponsor a whole event during Carnival week
- Contribute towards an event/carnival expenses
- Have a link from our website
- Donate a prize
- Have programmes to sell to visitors in your shop or premises
- Take part in Spot the Stranger competition
- Spot Barry the Beach Hut Hunt
