Victoria Day is back on Saturday 8 June from 10am to 4pm in Aldershot town centre, with the carnival parade stepping off at 11am. This year's theme is 'animals' and we'll be having a roar-some day, full of fun free activities!
Visit Union Street, Wellington Street and Princes Gardens between 10am and 4pm for a wild celebration of fun, free activities, fantastic craft and community stalls, fair rides, live entertainment and delicious food and drink.
Head to Princes Gardens for live music, dance and workshops on the bandstand throughout the day, animal themed make-and-take crafts, silly street theatre, a quiet storytelling area, fair rides and much more. Plus, don't miss our circus skills area and aerial performers alongside Princes Gardens Surgery and a small classic car display in Princes Way from 12.30pm.
Over on Union Street, there's wild stilt walkers, animal puppet performers, the Giant Bubble Man, face painters, hands-on creature encounters, Lego building and lots more live music and dance. There's even the chance to meet Captain John Voyage on his tropical tricycle, and his banana smuggling Orangutan puppet, Mr Business!
This year, the carnival parade will be bigger and more colourful than ever before, with spectacular costumes and puppets. The amazing 'Carnival of the Animals' leaves Princes Hall at 11am, ending at the Naafi roundabout. Aldershot's own Queen Victoria, Betty Bryce will be leading the procession of over 800 local people.
