A group of residents have managed to bring back the carnival in Audley after more than 40 years to boost community spirits. Mary Moss recalls the last time there was a carnival in Audley, she was a child dressed as a cigarette pack. Now a grand mother of 13, she makes up a part of the Children of Audley Residents Association.
The carnival is now an annual event. The event usually begins with the gathering of Floats on Queen Street, the procession begins at 9:30am and makes its way around Audley to return back to Queen Street. At 10:30am, the fun day begins at Wereton Road Park with many competitions such as Baby Competition, Glamorous Gran Competition, Knobbly Knees Contest, etc. The annual Miss Audley contest is also held during the carnival.
We would like to thank Aspire for their constant support in making this event a huge success.
