Preparations for this year’s Worcester Carnival have been stepped up with the launch of a search for carnival royalty.
The carnival is set for a colourful return to the city on Saturday, July 6,with the traditional carnival parade planned to go along the now established circular route starting and ending at Pitchcroft.
We have now launched an appeal to find a royal court, including King and Queen and junior attendants, who will lead the parade. Applicants for King and Queen should be over 18, while the junior court members will need to be boys and girls aged between six and eight years old.
The prestigious titleholders of King and Queen also get the chance to represent the carnival throughout the whole year.
As we would like our Royal Party to take pride of place in the parade we are looking for a sponsor to arrange for the decoration of a flat bed lorry – this would be the ideal opportunity for a garden centre or similar business.
The search is also continuing for sponsorship and grants for this year’s Carnival. Worcester business are being asked to come forward with a range of sponsorship packages to choose from on the day.
To apply to be in the royal court, please download and complete the form below, and return it including a recent photo to the address included.
The deadline for applications is Sunday 5 May 2019.
