Since its launch in 2015, the carnival has grown year on year, attracting thousands of visitors and becoming a highlight of the local calendar. The event proudly kicks off the Black Country Festival and is organised entirely by dedicated volunteers, chaired by Councillor Stuart Henley.

Visitors can look forward to a packed programme, including:

  • Live Music & Dance Performances

  • Market Stalls & Craft Traders

  • Large Food and Drink Festival

  • Fairground Rides

  • Wrestling Shows

  • Dog Show

The carnival is made possible thanks to the generosity of sponsors and grant funding. Previous supporters include Uber Eats and Halesowen College, and we are now seeking sponsors for this year’s event. If you or your business would like to get involved and help keep this fantastic community celebration alive, please get in touch.

We are also looking for bands, stallholders, and volunteers to join us. For an information pack or to discuss sponsorship opportunities, please email halesowencarnival@gmail.com.
