Live Music Dance & Raffle Night
On Saturday 25th April, we are holding a fund-raising event at Royal Wootton Bassett Conservative Club, featuring Wiltshire's famous Tin Shack Band and raffle with some really great prizes, donated by our generous sponsors.
This six-piece party band plays well-known dance tunes from the 1970s to present-day and guarantees a night of quality music and dancing.
Tickets cost £10 per person, on sale now and they can be bought in advance by clicking on the poster above or, if still available, on the door. Numbers are limited, so we can't guarantee availability on the night.
Carnival Collection Tins
Look out for our collection tins heading out to local shops and businesses in the coming days.
The cost of organising our town’s famous day of celebration is increasing year on year and your generosity really is vital in helping us to keep this much loved event continuing for everyone to enjoy.
Our team will also be visiting local businesses in the coming weeks to offer sponsorship packages for this year’s carnival, as well as opening our sealed bids to be our lead sponsor for carnival 2026.
If you are a local business who would like to sponsor this years event or to enter the bidding for lead sponsor please contact us.
