We’d like to thank everyone who supported Carnival 56 in 2017. After much consideration the decision has been taken to not return the festival to Camperdown Park for 2018. We are taking a year off to explore the potential future direction of the show and hope to return in full effect in 2019. Until then, thanks to you all.

The shortlists for the UK Festival Awards have now been announced, and unfortunately C56 didn't quite make it. We were up against some fantastic festivals, and it was an honour to have been nominated in our first year! A huge congrats to all those shortlisted 🎉🎉

A huge, massive, enormous thank you to everyone who voted for Carnival Fifty Six!!
