Spotlight Your Business at Taunton Carnival

Here’s the latest news from our Taunton Chamber of Commerce member Taunton Carnival Committee, about the wonderful business promotional opportunities that they have put together, so that businesses who align their brand with Taunton Carnival through sponsorship can maximise the opportunities to increase their exposure.

Sponsorship Packages:

Returning again this year we have an exciting range of value for money sponsorship packages, perfect ways for businesses in the local area to easily get involved in carnival.

To ensure that sponsors are able to gain the maximum impact possible, there are only a limited number of opportunities available, and we would love to welcome you on board as one of our sponsors for 2026. Bearing in mind the diversity of the local business community, we have something for businesses of all sizes and sectors.

Taunton Carnival has been entertaining the community for generations, but in modern times was restarted in 1966, and since then has been illuminating the streets of Taunton, and has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for local charities and organisations and attracting thousands of people to the town for the annual procession, now hosted at 7:30pm on the 3rd Saturday in October.

Taunton Carnival 2025 cost over £10,000 to put on, and this figure does not include the funds needed to build floats, and walking entries. Everyone involved are volunteers, who come together to put on a remarkable event.

How can you help?

We are delighted to announce that Taunton Chamber of Commerce member Taunton Home Tech returns as Gold Sponsor for the 2026 Taunton Carnival and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their ongoing community support and commitment to Taunton Carnival.

We have bronze and silver sponsorship packages available, which relate to the sponsorship of a class. We are fortunate enough to welcome many fantastic entries to Taunton Carnival which are divided into specific categories (classes), depending on what the entry is, what it looks like, and the age and number of entrants etc. Funds from your sponsorship will enable us to support clubs and entrants financially and make sure they can keep rebuilding and coming back to Taunton Carnival every
year!

Furthermore, the Carnival Programme will return in 2026, and in a similar fashion as last year, the
programme will be distributed to members of the public for free! This means that we can maximise the
audience that adverts in the programme reach. Some of the sponsorship packages include adverts for the programme, however we also have adverts on their own to sell. 500 programmes are printed and distributed to the public on carnival night!

Below, we have given full details of our sponsorship packages and programme adverts available and their value to you as a business, including purchase costs and what each one delivers your company in return.

Partner with Us

In addition to this, this year we are looking for businesses to become partners with us – rather than supporting us financially, is your business in a position to offer your services to support us? We can offer a substantial package to your business if this is the case.
