Saturday 15th August To Friday 21st August 2026
Our next fundraising event is a Barn Dance on Saturday 11th April 2026 at the Strand Centre from 19:00 to 22:45. Tickets are £10 from Presents (cash only). Join us for an evening of dancing, raffle and games, and help us raise funds for all the 2026 fun. Bring your own drinks, glasses and nibbles, and don’t forget your £1 coins for the games.
We are a little quiet at the moment as the committee is still tying up paperwork from carnival and taking a little rest (by going back to work!) BUT we wanted to say a massive THANK YOU for all the positive comments and feedback we have received for carnival week and our parade. It has taken our breath away. Our Facebook page alone around Carnival attracted over 1.4 million views and for everything we did differently – Dawlish you supported us – thank you!
This success is not just due to the volunteers on the committee but the 80 or so volunteers who support us during the week, all the sponsors, grant givers, fund raisers, printers, stall holders, entertainers, performers, water safety partners, security and medical providers, pa company, and many many more who help us alongside everyone who took part or watched any of the events and those who cheered along the parade route – WE THANK YOU ALL.
