2026 Amesbury Carnival Procession

2026 sees the return of the famous Amesbury Carnival Procession! A spectacular array of walking groups, mechanised floats and more -  travelling through town and up to the showground to open the Carnival show! ​See below for this years Parade Route. 

This years procession shall be forming up at Church Street, Amesbury at 11am (forming up from 9am). The theme of the procession route is 'Fantasy & Fairytales' - so we expect to see some very  magical floats!​​​

Floats will be split into classes, with prizes for each class. As always, there will be Carnival Royalty to lead the parade.

The procession route shall go from Amesbury Abbey into Church St, down Salisbury St (against the one way system), across to Earls Court Rd, up Antrobus Rd and then via Holders Rd to Holders Field - where the parade will finish at the showground and floats will disembark in the main arena, arriving between 11.45 and 12am.
