BROCKENHURST CARNIVAL
It’s time to breathe new life into this much-loved community tradition, and with your support, we can make it happen.
Plans are underway to revive the Brockenhurst Carnival this August Bank Holiday Monday. First held over 100 years ago, the carnival brought local businesses together to support the village school, helping fund an extension to its building.
Now, the Parish Council Events Working Group and local groups are joining forces once again to reimagine this exciting event. BROCKIVAL will celebrate how the village has grown and showcase everything it has to offer today.
We warmly invite community clubs, groups, charities and businesses to get involved and be part of this special occasion.

Brockival Bearers are people, groups, or organisations who represent the very best of our community. From volunteers and local champions to inspiring young people and community groups, they are the people who help make Brockenhurst such a special place.
Leading the carnival procession this year will be the Brockenhurst Community Clean-Up Group, a proud part of the Brockenhurst Community Action Group (BCAG). This exceptional group embodies the spirit of our community.
Join us in celebrating Karen Bladen, Rosie Kilsby, Gary Lee, and Susan Kirsch for their outstanding dedication to keeping our village clean and vibrant!
