So in 2025 it will be held from Saturday 16th August to Friday 22nd August, with Carnival Day being held on Wednesday 2Oth August.
Carnival Day is always the 3rd Wednesday of August - so check your diary for that day, and carnival is the week around it. Carnival week is preceded by the two Children's Weeks.
