Carnival Sponsorship

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.

1. Sponsor a whole event during Carnival week 
2. Contribute towards an event/carnival expenses 
3. Have a link from our website
4. Donate a prize 
5. Have programmes to sell to visitors in your shop or premises 
6. Take part in Spot the Stranger competition
7. Spot Barry the Beach Hut Hunt
