Hi everyone! As the Sittingbourne Carnival is new to some (including us!) our lead marshal Karl has asked me to share this incase there are any questions regarding the end of the procession. I hope this is clear and should there be any other questions, feel free and to ask on the day. Thank you for your support and we’re excited to
Welcome everyone! 🥳

Good afternoon

Once all the possession entries arrive at the bottom of Sittingbourne High Street, everyone that is travelling on a court float, lorry, or any kind of vehicle MUST get off on the left hand side where there are plenty of safe congregation points, safety is top priority to our team. All vehicles must turn right and find a side road to close up. There will be marshals at the bottom of the High Street to help with everyone getting off and directions.

If you wish to go back to the starting point to dismantle, then that would be fine as it will be manned at all times. Thanks, Karl.
