2025’s Headline Sponsors
© 2025 8 Day Weekend
Saffron Walden Round Table has raised and donated over £250,000 to the local community over the past 10 years.
As well as the tri-annual Carnival, we also organise the Charity Fireworks Display in November. We give Santa a tow around the town on his Sleigh Tour in December whilst Rudolph and the others get themselves ready for the big day, and we also host an Easter Egg Hunt in the beautiful grounds at Bridge End Gardens on Easter Sunday.
Our community involvement does not stop at fund raising and we provide support to those in need, be it manual labour or attending other events as guests.
Please see below the beneficiaries of the past Carnivals and Saffron Walden Round Table events.

Carnival Procession
The Carnival procession has been a key event ever since the very first Carnival over 50 years ago and is the 2nd largest non-funded procession in the country. Rumour has it that the procession can be seen from space, although we have yet to verify that!
