BAMFORD
CARNIVAL
Bamford, in the heart of the Hope Valley, organises a week of activities culminating in Carnival Day, usually
the third Saturday in July. There are several sporting events: Junior 5-a-side football, a very well-attended
Junior Fell Race and an extremely popular Senior Fell Race. There are events for the adults, including
a fascinating exhibition put on by the History Society, Bingo a Whist Drive and a Treasure Hunt. There
are family fun events put on by the Village pubs as well as the traditional events: Crowning of the Queen, Well Dressing and
the Carnival.Carnival Day starts with a procession
through the village of Carnival Queens, fancy dress contestants and floats, with everyone ending up at the Recreation Ground where there are games, entertainment and side shows for all the family. Although some events
are for local residents only, including the Junior 5-a-side Football and the Junior Fell Race, most are open to visitors. The Fell Race and Carnival Day in particular attract people from far a field. Money raised from the Carnival
goes to local organisations and charities, for example the Primary School and Play Groups, St. John’s Ambulance and
Mountain Rescue, Cubs, Brownies, Guides, Community Arts and the Senior Citizens Fund, as well as the local Churches, Royal
British Legion, etc.
