BARLOW CARNIVAL WEEK AT THE TICKLED TROUT 🎉
It’s Barlow Carnival week, and we’re looking forward to celebrating with the village!🥂
Tonight is the Blessing of the Wells where the outdoor service at the church will start at 6:30pm, followed by the band procession through the village, finishing on the green here by The Tickled Trout with maypole dancing by the well dressing. Please be aware that there will be a road closure through the village from Springfield road up to The Peacock from 6:45-8:30pm for the parade, so please plan your journey accordingly.
On Saturday (carnival day), the float parade starts at 1pm from Springfield Road down by us, travelling through the village and finishing on the village green.
We won’t be serving lunch as usual Saturday lunchtime, but an outdoor bar will be open for you to grab a drink and enjoy the parade with us.🍻There will again be a road closure from 12:45-2:45pm for the parade.
We’ll also be serving our pizzas on the main carnival field, with regular food service back at The Tickled Trout from 5pm.
We hope to see lots of you joining in the celebrations and enjoy a brilliant Barlow Carnival! 💛
