Wokingham Winter Carnival is a FUN day out for the whole family. The town is closed to traffic for the day so children can join in the fun in a totally safe environment.
There’s a whole host of street entertainers, music, singing, dancing and the fun of the fair with loads of different rides, whether you’re young or old.
Santa will be in his grotto and for lunch there are stalls offering an amazing choice of food and drink. There are over 125 stalls selling gifts & goods too, so why not get your Christmas shopping sorted?
A programme of events with what’s happening throughout the day along with maps, stallholders and Carols to sing along to, is available here.
