Our hugely popular Kirk Carnival is on Saturday May 11th this year and this year’s theme is the Olympics!
We have a brilliant selection of rides, activities and stalls – from a Rodeo Bull, Wipeout and Bungee Run for adults, and Pirate Run, Giant Slide and Ball Pond* for kids – plus home-baking, FOUR different tombola stalls (Bottles, Toiletries, Chocolate and Soft Toys) and a plant stall.
Don’t forget to buy your Lucky Prize Draw Programme for a chance to win a fabulous selection of prizes including a meal for two at the Houston Inn, a £50 voucher for dinner at Amaretto, a £50 voucher for a meal at the Fox & Hounds and a £40 voucher for Houston Hair Salon.
Every penny raised at the Carnival goes to support events and activities in Houston and the surrounding area that are open to the whole community.
We can’t wait to welcome you!
