We have opportunities for local businesses to Sponsor individual classes and The Children's Carnival Event
We are thrilled to announce the return of Ilminster Carnival for 2026 - a vibrant celebration of community spirit, creativity, and culture that brings together thousands of residents and visitors each year. As we prepare for this years spectacular procession, we are reaching out to valued local businesses like yours to invite you to be a part of something truly special. The carnival is more than just a parade – it's a cherished tradition that boosts local pride, supports artists and performers of all ages, and drive footfall to our high streets which in turn supports local business. But none of this would be possible without the generous support of sponsors.
Why sponsor the carnival?
• Visibility: Your brand will be showcased to a wide and diverse audience through various means (further details in packages)
• Community Impact: Your support helps to fund signage, floats, music and entertainment that engages people of all ages
• Goodwill: Align your business with a beloved community event and demonstrate your commitment to local culture and togetherness.
We offer three sponsorship packages, each of which can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your business.
Walking Entries Classes 6-10--£100
Mounted Entries Classes 1-5--£150
Children’s Carnival package--£200
Our sponsorship opportunities provide a range of promotional benefits, including online advertising across our website and social media platforms, as well as recognition on our official route map. In addition, we can supply a professionally designed poster for you to display at your premises, highlighting your support for the carnival. All class sponsors will receive further recognition, with their business name printed on the relevant prize certificates and acknowledged during the results presentation for their sponsored class.
Let’s make this years carnival the most dazzling yet - with your business at the heart of the celebration.
