1951 was the Festival of Britain, a time for celebration as the nation put the years of war and deprivation behind it. That year saw the first Carshalton Carnival and 61 years later it is still going strong. The Carnival Parade, themed this year as “SPIRIT OF THE OLYMPICS”, will start its journey from the Sutton Arena at 12.00 noon working its way down Green Wrythe Lane, past Carshalton College and down North Street. Over the ponds and along the High Street then around to Carshalton Park in Ruskin Road arriving at 1.30pm.
