Unfortunately for us, changing the date to later in the year is not an option as the amount of paperwork and planning that needs to go into the planning of the date is too much and we wouldn't get it through the various channels in time.

We know that you will all share our disappointment but be assured that all is not lost...…. we are going to transfer all of our plans for this year over to next year including the theme. If anybody has put in some thought, bought costumes, made props etc then put it all away safely or write it down and be ready to pull it out again when we'll back on Saturday 19th June 2021!

We will be contacting all parade entrants, royalty, stall holders, vendors and attractions over the coming days.

On behalf of the whole Marple Carnival Committee we wish everyone the best for what will be a strange and difficult year and we look forward to bringing back the party in 2021. 💙
