Established in 1998, this lively carnival is an annual celebration of an idyllic past. Beginning with a procession of around 100 pre-1920s motorcars, penny-farthings and folk dressed in period costume, the carnival proceeds to the pleasant surrounds of North Hagley Park. Here, the main event begins, with plenty of amusements and entertainment, including penny-farthing and Clydesdale wagon rides, an Edwardian fashion parade and picnic, barbershop choir, and Punch and Judy show. The carnival promises plenty of fun for the children and a great day out for all the family. It is held annually in February. Admission is free.
