Stuck with what to do with the kids? Do not fear, Nelly is willing to be teacher for a day!

Tomorrow (27/4/23) we will be offering *KIDS GO FREE to help keep the little ones occupied!

Head down to Bugtopia Hornsea Zoo to learn about some incredible animals!

Just make sure you don't ask for help with homework, we feel Nelly's best role in a school would be as a paper shredder!

*Kids Go Free offer T&C's apply. One free child (under 16) per full paying adult. Not to be used in conjunction with any other offer. Offer may be withdrawn without notice. Valid for the date of the 27/4/23 only

🎇✨🎆✨

Hello Hornsea, how are you all.

Sorry for the lack for communication, but your Carnival committee have been hard at work ensuring that this amazing town has a firework display for everyone to enjoy.

So, let’s discuss the elephant in the room, yes, the location has changed, these are circumstances outside of our control, and we have had to resort to the only suitable location in the town.

But let’s look at the positives, we are right in the middle of town, its accessible for everyone, we will be having some great vendors, providing hot food, hot drinks, we will be having some live music to get everyone in the mood for a great time.
We promised we would bring back the Firework display if we could afford to and we have.

Its going to be a brilliant night, but let’s not forget what the night is about, while the event is free it is also a chance to raise some much-needed funds for Carnival, and we know times are tough, by gosh don’t we, so anything you can do to help Support Carnival, well it would be greatly appreciated.

If you don’t have Cash, don’t worry we will have option for contactless payment using QR Codes printed on the side of the collection buckets, the QR code will also be posted online, the beauty of this code is you can donate any amount you want to with complete anonymity.

We hope to see you on the 4th
