ABD IS THE LEAD SPONSOR FOR ONE OF THE BIGGEST OUTDOOR CELEBRATIONS IN WILTSHIRE!
The Devizes Carnival celebrates its 100th anniversary this year and ABD is proud to be the lead sponsor!

Devizes has a long tradition of fairs, markets and carnivals…

The Devizes Carnival and International Street Festival are an exciting mix of traditional and contemporary carnival styles. The Devizes Carnival is the biggest outdoor community event in the town’s calendar and consists of 2 weeks of festival activities in late August and early September. It is one of the biggest outdoor celebrations in Wiltshire last year’s Carnival drawing over 10,000 people to Devizes!  The Carnival events include the Devizes International Street Festival, Picnic in the Park, Confetti Battle and the Carnival Procession amongst lots of other supporting events.

The Picnic in the park, which is a free event, is held in Hillworth Park Devizes and features a range of musicians playing live music to people whilst they enjoy their picnics.

 “Last year we had the biggest crowd ever, with 500 people attending. It’s a fun and social event and Hillworth Park is a lovely venue.”  Gazette and Herald Newspaper

The Confetti Battle which takes place over the Carnival weekend is a popular local tradition that has been taking place for many years, and one in which everyone can take part.

The Devizes Carnival Parade is a spectacular event and promises to be even more spectacular this year marking its 100th anniversary. The parade starts on the green and goes through the town centre.  A free community costume making workshop has been available to anyone wanting to build a float or take part in the Parade!

ABD will be the lead sponsor for these exiting events and is proud to be supporting the community!
