People's Carnival 2012

Another great event being planned for the town

Its gonna be another great Carnival weekend for Oldham in 2012. But there's a difference to what went before - when all the activities took place at Alexandra Park. 2012 will be split between the Town Centre and Alexandra Park!!

Family Fun Day!

On Saturday June 23rd a Family Fun Day, in Oldham Town Centre (brought to you by David Cook Motors), is being organised with lots of FREE stuff for the kids - bouncy castles, face painting, clowns etc. There'll also be a small stage with live LOCAL entertainers performing throughout the afternoon. There'll be lots of charity stalls as well and lots more which we'll tell you about nearer the time. The Family Day starts at 11am and finishes at 4pm.

Picnic in the Park

The day after Carnival switches to Alexandra Park for a 'Picnic in the Park'. Its a chance to enjoy the entertainment on our stages whilst enjoying an

old-fashioned picnic. The day starts at 1pm and finishes at 9pm with two live stages, the UK Dance Troupe Competition, fielf events, fun fair rides, stalls and plenty of food, ice creams and sweets for the kids.

Parade in the Park


Lots to do then! But if that isn't enough, then there's the colourful spectacle of the Parade in the Park!

Setting off at 3pm, this promises to be another great event.

The route round the park was full of onlookers last year - the first year - and 2012 should be even better.

PERFORMERS AT CARNIVAL 2012 WILL BRING 'PEACE, HOPE AND HARMONY'

That's the mesage we want our perfomers to be bringing to the People's Carnival in 2012. And to compliment the message we've named our stages, yes, you've guessed it..the Peace, Hope and Harmony stages.

There'll be one stage in the town centre during the Town Centre Fun Day (brought to you by David Cook Motors) on Saturday June 23rd and two stages in the Park operating on Sunday June 24th (brought to you by The Oldham Academy North).

We haven't decided which of the stages will have what name yet, but the big stage on the park will be there once again with a full eight hours of local entertainment.
