Fleet & District Carnival

Can we once again share our appreciation for the extremely hardworking young people and volunteers from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Army Cadet Force who gave up their Saturday last weekend to help guide traffic on and off of Calthorpe Park, directing the public and keeping the playing fields clear of litter throughout the day.

Huge thanks and a big virtual cheer to you all!!

The Sharyn Wheale Councillor’s Award was created in memory or Sharyn Wheale, a long-serving councillor, representing Fleet East for almost 32 years and elected Chairman of the Council twice.

Sharyn sadly passed away in April 2022 and as an enthusiastic figure who had a long history with Fleet Carnival, organising, promoting, volunteering and oftentimes acting as a judge for our community awards and competitions, she is sorely missed.

The 2025 Sharyn Wheale Award Winner is Fleet Hall Care Home - Avery Collection

The Carnival Committee established the Anthony Barrell Committee’s Choice Award, following the sad passing of our Carnival Vice President and former Treasurer in late 2022.

Anthony joined the Carnival committee in 1989, serving as Treasurer for 25 years. He was a vital part of Carnival in so many ways and the Committee were incredibly fortunate to have Anthony involved, sharing in his fundraising quest for local charities. Anthony was an integral part of the committee and he is deeply missed.

This award is made in his memory to Hart Swimming Club !

In 2019, we introduced a new award for the procession entries, the Sasha Forster Peoples Choice Carnival Award.

Sasha loved Fleet Carnival, spectating every year until 2017, when she sadly passed away aged just 20. She wanted everyone to enjoy and take part in community events, to support and recognise efforts, so her family donated this award in Sasha’s memory.

The Sasha Forster Award is made each year to the procession entry that is voted most popular by the public and for 2025, we're delighted to announce the winner is... Elvetham Heath Primary School (EHPS)!
