Welcome to one of North Devon's most special carnivals
Hartland Carnival is the highlight of the year for the whole community as well as for many of our regular visitors from far and wide. The day itself - Saturday 11th August - will witness marching-bands, carnival royalty and impressive floats pass through the historic village followed up by a whole evening entertainment from samba bands and fire eaters through to food stalls and fun fairs. However, Hartland Carnival is far more than just a procession, the event is also preceded by a whole week of activities, fun and competitions for all the family. So whether you want to challenge yourself to the village quiz, consider yourself a skittles champion or fancy spending an evening drinking craft ale before playing bubble football there's something for everyone and we can't wait to see you.

We won't let anything rain on our parade
From the outstanding entrants, to the relentlessly positive support from the community (despite the torrential downpour) this years carnival summed up everything that makes the day so special. Soggy feet, diluted pints and waterproofs in the middle of summer couldn't stop wall-to-wall crowds enjoying the parade. Check out the winners and round-up below.
What's on
