Wishing you all a lovely bank holiday weekend, and hoping the weather is as nice next weekend for our event!

One week today and the Funday will be in full flow! Are you coming? hertfordcarnival.org.uk

If you are coming to the Funday on Sunday, please do amass some change this week ... Suggested donation is £1 on the gates, all for our charities.

The list of stalls has now been added to the website. Come along on Sunday and support your local businesses and organisations! hertfordcarnival.org.uk/Day_plan.html Picture; stalls in 2015, courtesy of Melissa Bolton.

Please display or share our poster in the run-up to Sunday! hertfordcarnival.org.uk/attachments/th…

Our event this year is organised by Rotary Hertford in partnership with Hertford Town Council. We are sponsored by @networkhomesuk and Datum Contracts and Construction Management (Hertford). Thank you ever so much, we could not do it without you!

Gates open 12 midday on Sunday!

Good morning! Our committee, happy helpers, stage sponsor and stall-holders will be hard at work for the next few hours setting up the grounds. Busy busy!

Please do tag us if you are sharing pictures/comments about the Funday today! Hertford Castle Fun Day

We have Billy Ocean's first band in the arena today! Shades of Midnight kick off the entertainment at 12.30. (Photo courtesy of their website).

Gates are open! Stalls are set up, performers are geared to go, and Mayor is in the wings waiting to open the event officially at 1pm. Now all you need is YOU (and you, your sun cream)! Donations on the gates please!

We have plenty of stalls out today; from balloons to physio, bees to sausages, come and have a look and support your local businesses, organisations and services. hertfordcarnival.org.uk/Day_plan.html#…

We also have lots of stuff that the kids will like! - sand art and facepainting, mask making and games, and of course slush puppies and ice cream!

The arena entertainment continues until 5, with the Bhangra Drummers beating up a storm, Everyone Active showing us their moves, The Fusion Choir with scarves and harmonies, and Harry Band's to close!

Pop down for last hour of the afternoon if you haven't been down already! A bit of music, icecream, beer, pizza - a lovely way to end a hot afternoon!

Over 1,000 visitors inside #Hertford Castle so far this afternoon, and many more outside. Still an hour to go.

And we are done! Thank you to all of you who came to visit, our lovely sponsors, great stalls and fun entertainment. Spare a thought for our fab volunteers, who have spent months organising, and now will be quietly tidying up into the evening. And do please send us any photos!

Including for the Funday on June 7th!

The Hertford Carnival Funday - booked in for Sunday 7 June - has been CANCELLED. Our committee will be getting in touch with all booked performers and stall-holders. God willing we'll see you for our event next year. Our best wishes to all. Hertford Town Council Hertford Castle
