Each year we line up a host of spectacular acts to thrill and entertain you. The Carnival event has an average of five stages across the park with local, regional, national and international artistes performing all the genres you would expect.

8 stages in the Musical arena

Youth Stage

 

The youth stage sees emerging artists from our Carnival X development programme perform for the first time. These young, emerging artistes are mentored and coached to perform to the high standards that Carnival goers expect. We fully expect to see these young people flying high in the future.

The King & Queen Show

 

The King and Queen Show returned after 17 years in 2023. This show involves Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses taking part in parade troupes from Manchester, Yorkshire and the East midlands.

Details of this year’s Kings and Queen’s Show will be published soon.
