I LOVE the Andover carnival it’s a great family day out organised by a team of 10 volunteers who give their time and energy to bring a fantastic free event to Andover every summer.

Carnival Day 2018 will be held on Sunday 15th July and Vigo Recreation Grounds will once again be the focus of the Family Fun Day commencing at 12 noon until 9pm.

The Main Stage will feature local artists performing a wide variety of music providing a great source of entertainment throughout the day.
