stowmarket carnivalOur Sponsors 2025
Every year local companies support us financially, or by donating their services.
Without the help and support of these sponsors, we would lose this wonderful local heritage that is the Stowmarket Carnival, so we are always grateful for the support we receive.
If you would like to sponsor the carnival this year, please get in touch with us on sponsorship@stowmarketcarnival.org.uk
