Worcester Carnival organisers have announced that the popular event will return in July 2027.

The committee explained that the usual summer date won’t be available in 2026 due to scheduling reasons. Instead, they will use the year to focus on community projects, creative development, and strengthening funding and sponsorship for future events.

Although the carnival itself won’t take place in 2026, organisers confirmed that they will still be part of the Worcester Show in August next year, maintaining the Carnival spirit and building excitement for its return in 2027.

The committee expressed gratitude to Worcester City Council, Severn Arts, volunteers, and participants, acknowledging their efforts in making the event possible.
