Denton Carnival 2010

Well I managed to get to the carnival, as millions and millions (slight exaggeration) did. Before the carnival took place it actually pissed it down. Wasn't sure if the carnival was going to take place it was that bad, however the weather brighten up the longer the day went on. Nice to see some faces I haven't seen in a long while. The carnival itself wasn't really that long however they put on a good show afterwards that went on for hours and hours. I haven't got round to uploading the images or videos to the website yet, hopeing to get it done this weekend. However saying that I've just uploaded a slide show of the day up on youtube and you an view it here

There’s not that much information online but this is what I’ve managed to get. Entertainment starts at 12.30pm when the carnival parade walks from the old Two Trees School in Haughton Green to Victoria Park.

Attractions in the park include performances from the Tameside Titans, the Scouts Samba Band and Evade Martial Arts. Animal-lovers will be dealing with some prickly customers with volunteers from Rochdale Hedgehog Rescue. There will be henna and face painting, comedy, craft activities and a bucking bronco plus a funfair from Friday to Sunday on Saxon Street car park. The carnival procession will set off from Two Trees Lane via Stockport Road, Crown Point, Manchester Road, Acre Street, Duke Street and arrive in the park at around 1.30pm.
