Family Fun Day to choose Newport Carnival Royalty for 2024

Running 10am to 4pm on Monday 6th May at The Lamb, Edgmond, the event is set to be a fun-filled day for the whole family with a bouncy slide, music, games, slushies, candy floss, ice cream and glitter tattoos.

There will also be a bbq with a host of delicious hot treats on offer, children’s play area and a warm welcome for any dog family members.

The event will also host Newport Carnival’s 2024 Royal Party Selection, when the king, queen, prince, princess and royal entourage will all be chosen.

Landlords Kevin and Kendall Jones  took over The Lamb in Shrewsbury Road, Edgmond, in August last year.

They said they were thrilled to be hosting their first family fun day and to welcome the Carnival team and future Royal Party.

“We’re touched by the support of the community ever since we took on the pub last summer and are looking forward to welcoming even more of you for our first of many family fun days to come,” said Kendall.

Kevin added: “We can’t wait for Monday and are very excited for our new BBQ offering to make its debut at the pub.

“We’re very proud of our food and can’t wait to welcome the Carnival committee and their future Royal Party.”

Newport Carnival returns on Saturday 8th June with the theme TV and ‘Toons and a huge host of entertainment, live music and a procession that is set to be bigger than ever.

With 12,000 people attending in 2023, this year’s event is set to be the biggest and best yet.

James Prince, vice chairman of the Carnival committee, said The Lamb was a fantastic venue with the perfect outdoor space to host the Royal Party selection.

“We asked if The Lamb would be happy to get involved with this year’s fun day and Kev and Kendall both said yes immediately,” he said.

The event also has a brand new website, newport-carnival.co.uk.
