THE COUNTDOWN is on for one of Dorset’s biggest summer events.
Swanage Carnival returns from Saturday, July 26 to Saturday, August 2 with more than 100 events planned across eight days.
Highlights will include aerobatic displays from the RAF Red Arrows and the Global Stars air show team.
The popular Steamship Circus also returns, bringing interactive fun, acrobatic performances, and edge-of-your-seat stunts.
Other attractions include a high-flying BMX stunt show, talented acrobats, engaging live entertainers, and the ever-popular Titan the Robot.
Visitors can also enjoy live music, fireworks, and a wide range of sporting competitions throughout the week.
The centrepiece of the event will be the popular procession which will bring colour and energy to the streets.
This year’s theme is Cirque Du Swanage and promises to fill the town with a festival atmosphere while raising money for local charities and good causes.
Organisers are encouraging everyone to get involved, whether by attending, volunteering, or taking part in one of the many events.
Full details are available in the carnival programme, which can now be pre-ordered online or from the Swanage Carnival App in the App Store.
A spokesperson said: “Don't miss Swanage’s biggest celebration of the year—fun, spectacle, and community spirit await.”
