Every
year, the Carnival's afternoon procession starts at 2.00pm and
the evening torch light procession at 7.15pm.
The
processions feature highly decorated floats as well as the splendid
Sampson's Horses with the lead carriage. Also in the procession
are marching bands, majorette troupes, walking fancy dress entries,
steam vehicles, vintage cars and much more - altogether making
Ringwood Carnival one of the largest voluntarily organised Carnivals
in the country. Along the route street entertainment will include
stilt walkers, jugglers & buskers.
