Support us to deliver the magnificent circus tent and workshops - a key part of the Rotary's annual August Bank Holiday Carnival and Procession. Nearly 100 years old. Help us make this the best ever!
Worthing Rotary raises money for many local causes, i.e. homelessness, care and disability groups, youth support and more. The Carnival is one of our main fund-raising events.This appeal is to fund the circus tent and family workshops, which form a key part of the carnival - the circus tent and workshops are an interactive extravaganza at the heart of the bank holiday festivities for all to enjoy. Our breath-taking Carnival is a two-day event with charity stalls and refreshments galore, all setting-up on August Bank Holiday Sunday in Steyne Gardens. On Monday thirty or so floats parade along the seafront, marching bands, dancers and music, eye-catching local groups showing us the skills that they practice every week. (The circus tent and workshops are part of the wider festival, but could also operate as a standalone element).
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
This will take place at our fabulously attended August Bank Holiday Rotary Carnival which includes a glittering parade, dog show, food stalls and bar, childrens activities and live music. These are financially challenging times for everyone and our attempts to gain the backing and the support needed becomes harder and harder. We never forget to thank all of our generous local sponsors but we desperately need more funding in order to maintain the levels the town has come to expect... since the 1920's. Small pledges will make a big difference !
Steps to get it done:
In 2022 Worthing Carnival and the Rotary Clubs of Worthing will be celebrating it's 100th Birthday. By supporting the event this year you will be supporting the organisation to reach this historic landmark. The Carnival has been part of Worthing's calendar since 1922, an important part of Worthing's heritage.

VolunteerWorthing Rotary Carnival
Worthing Rotary Clubs join together to present a Carnival for Worthing Residents and their children over the bank holiday weekend.
Worthing Rotary seeks to raise money for as many good local causes as we can afford, i.e. homelessness, care and disability groups, personal strife, youth support and lots more, and the Carnival is one of our main fund-raising events. It's a lot of hard work for dozens of Rotarian volunteers but we do so for the fun and the enjoyment and the atmosphere it creates for the community on the day AND for the financial benefit of the community afterwards !
Our breath-taking Carnival is a two-day event with charity stalls and refreshments galore, all setting-up on August Bank Holiday Sunday in Steyne Gardens. And Monday sees the thirty or so floats processing along the seafront, marching bands, dancers and music, eye-catching local groups showing us their skills that they practise every week, fire engines participate if they are not otherwise engaged, the Town Crier never misses ! A true community entertainment of colour, noise and creativity for the thousands lucky enough to witness it ! The Procession finishes at Steyne Gardens where it joins the hub and hive of activities including Circus Pzazz (seeing is believing !) Dogs Trust exhibitions and an all-afternoon concert of live music by talented local musicians and groups.
We appeal for your support in delivering this much-loved civic entertainment that has become such a highlight in Worthing's calendar since 1922 !
