Molesey Carnival takes place this year on Saturday June 13th. At our heart, we are about fundraising. That means giving a community platform to around 40 groups and charities each year so that they can raise much needed money and awareness. The day is all about fun and fundraising with a whole lot of community spirit. We hope you’ll join us!
Follow the float parade…
Mr Mole and his friends leading the Float Parade is at the very heart of the Carnival, and gets the day off to a great, colourful and noisy start!
The float parade, led by the 3rd Molesey Scout Band leaves Walton Road car park at 12.30pm and travels toward West Molesey Recreation Ground.
Come out along the route and support all the participants as they move along Walton Road towards the field.
Calling all performers...
We’re looking for people who love to take the spotlight. Whether you’re part of a local club, a solo act, a team, or a musician, we’d love to see what you can do. Bring your talent along and show the crowd what you’ve got – the noiser and more colourful, the better!
Performance slots will likely be around 10 to 15 minutes each, so if you’d like to get involved, please get in touch.
Pamper those pooches…
With plenty of wagging tails and friendly competition, the Fun Dog Show is a joyful highlight of the carnival — the perfect chance to show off your furry friends and enjoy a fun afternoon with fellow dog lovers.
Our friends at The Vet Station will take the lead to find the best barkers in town – it’s all about enjoyment rather than serious competition, but there are still rosettes and prizes to be won.
Get involved in Molesey Carnival and be part of the fun! You can join the Float Parade and showcase your group, run a stall to raise funds or share your talents, or support the event by giving time or donation. Whatever you choose, your contribution helps keep this free, community‑celebrating day alive and kicking!
Kick off the Carnival by following Mr Mole and friends in the colourful, noisy Float Parade. Schools, clubs and charities are invited to enter a float — it costs just a few pounds and is great fun and publicity for your group.
We look forward to seeing everyone’s creative, colourful and imaginative efforts, and hope to see people lining the road to cheer them along!
Promote your group and raise funds as well as awareness. Run a stall at the Carnival and attract the crowds with a fun activity while raising money for your club or community group.
Get in touch if you’d like a spot around the arena. Priority goes to local charities, schools and community groups, but we’ll always try to include local, community-minded businesses too.
If you’re part of the local community or run a local business, we’d love your help. The Carnival simply wouldn’t happen without donations, volunteers and sponsors. We’re especially looking for prizes for the Lucky Programme Draw and event sponsors to help raise as much as possible for this year and future events.
If you can donate a prize — big or small — we’d be incredibly grateful. Your support helps keep this free community event thriving and enjoyable for everyone.
The annual Molesey Carnival is an important fundraiser for local community groups and charities, such scouts and guides, local churches, schools, many clubs and societies. We give all these organisations a chance to raise their profiles and much needed funds, and connect with local people. On the day, the event combines a float parade led by a marching band, a fun dog show, fundraising stalls, and performances from local talent on the stage and in the arena. The Molesey Carnival is non-profit making, with all funds raised prior to and on the day, going towards the following years‘ costs. The organising team are all volunteers, managing, organising and fundraising for the event in their own time.
