🚫 LIGHT-UP MERCHANDISE, TAT & CARNIVAL COLLECTIONS 🚫 We would much rather you put your money into our collection buckets! Every year, traders arrive at Glastonbury Carnival selling light-up toys, flashing wands, novelty merchandise and all manner of other tat. Let's make one thing very clear: Glastonbury Carnival has NO commercial arrangements, partnerships or affiliations with ANY sellers of light-up merchandise or novelty goods. They are independent traders, not representatives of Glastonbury Carnival, and buying from them does not mean you are supporting the event. We fully appreciate that children love the flashing lights and colourful toys, and we're not telling you what you can or cannot buy. But here's our preference. Rather than spending £10 on something that might not survive the journey home, we'd much rather you put a couple of pounds into one of our official collection buckets. That money helps us stage the Carnival, meet the considerable costs of putting on the event and support the charitable causes that benefit from our collections. The parade is free to watch, but it certainly isn't free to put on! So please, enjoy the lights, enjoy the spectacle and, if you can, support Glastonbury Carnival itself. Support the Carnival, not the tat!

🐾 SHOULD I BRING MY DOG TO CARNIVAL? 🐾 Our advice is simple: unless your dog is an assistance dog please leave your furry family members safely at home. Carnival is the single busiest day of the year in Glastonbury. Tens of thousands of people will line the route, with extremely busy streets, powerful music, flashing lights and cheering crowds. Even dogs that are usually calm around people can become frightened, distressed or overwhelmed. With spectators packed along the route, it may also be difficult to move away quickly if your dog becomes uncomfortable. There is also a very practical problem: in a tightly packed crowd, it can be extremely difficult to find enough room to clear up safely after your pooch. Anything left behind is unpleasant and can become a slip hazard for other spectators. Assistance-dog owners know their dog’s needs best, but please plan your viewing location carefully and remember that there is no quiet section of the procession route. For everyone else, your pets will be much happier and safer at home.
