Beccles is gearing up for a weekend of colour, music, and community spirit as Beccles Carnival returns next weekend, Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th August.
Possibly one of Europe’s longest-running carnivals, this much-loved event brings thousands together each year for vibrant parades, family activities, live performances, and delicious local food. It’s a highlight of the summer calendar – and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever.
Organisers are keen to clear up some confusion after a local press report incorrectly suggested the Carnival was taking place this weekend. The correct dates are next weekend, giving everyone extra time to plan their visit and not miss a moment of the fun.
From colourful floats winding through the streets to the buzz of live entertainment and the warmth of a welcoming crowd, Beccles Carnival is the perfect way to celebrate summer in Suffolk.
So grab your diary, gather your friends and family, and join the festivities on 16th & 17th August 2025 – it’s a weekend you won’t want to miss.
