Ilkley Carnival - May 6th

Parade

Ilkley Pride & Diversity Group are once again involved in the annual Ilkley Carnival. This year the theme is 'Mardi Gras' and the event is being held on May 6th. We will be walking in the parade from Grove Road down to East Holmes Field and we would love it if you could join us.

If you're interested please email [email protected]. By parading with us you will be granted free entry to East Holmes Field.

Volunteering

It takes 200+ volunteers to put on Ilkley Carnival and due to a change in regulations even more are required this year as setup will begin on Saturday 4th rather than the Sunday as it has in previous years. Local groups like Ilkley Pride & Diversity Group are provided with funding based on the number of hours members volunteer for and this really helps support the work we do.

If you can spare any time over the bank holiday weekend please consider volunteering. There's a job for everyone from erecting fencing or selling tickets to helping with arts and crafts so if you can volunteer please sign up here: https://www.ilkleycarnival.org/helpers/
