Accrington Carnival :D
 

Hello anyone out there entering the carnival or planning to if so what are your ideas? I was at this community group meeting tonight and they are doing accrington through the ages. Me and my friend callum came up with little kids with flap caps on and red t-shirts and just plain red scarfs as stanley supporters with a bottle of milk hehe. And something about the bricks maybe and maybe the accrington pals. So anyone else out there doing it ? or had success ?

Says the field events are at Peel Park again. I remember having a 'discussion' with an organiser when it moved there and refusing to pay the admission charge. Needless to say they didn't get my custom :(

Re: Accrington Carnival :D
 

how much was the admission last year? i remember going to Peel Park when it was first on there and it didnt cost a thing

Re: Accrington Carnival :D
 

Well you either sneaked in or they decided to fleece a certain few. Definateley charged which is why I didn't go in.

i'm talking about 8 years ago Dave

Re: Accrington Carnival :D
 

Yep it was the first time they had it there when they moved from college fields. I remember my daughter was only little so would have been about that time.

Re: Accrington Carnival :D
 

yeah Reece was 2 at the time....so how much was it last year?

Re: Accrington Carnival :D
 

Oh yes they definately charged, think it was £2.50 per adult & £1.50 per concession:( Then u have the extortionate rides/stalls & they had security people guarding the grounds & entrances so u didnt sneak in as well :(

When in the old days it used to finalise at Sandy lane they never charged then, so cant see why they have to charge now - total rip off really, instead i took the kids to the Park up there & had a better time in my old haunt :D
