Without a committee to organise it, Brampton’s carnival cannot be revived.

That’s the message from the group eager to bring back fancy dress and floats to the town that has been without a carnival for almost a decade.

Adam Ramsey, who is among four people willing to get it back up and running, explained that there is still the interest for the carnival to return – but that no other committee members have come forward.

“We’re still not any further forward with it,” he said.

“I’ve been messaging on social media to try and get more people on board but there’s just no interest.

“It’s something we can’t do on our own. We need more people.”

Mr Ramsey, who manages the Nags Head pub in Market Place, thinks at least 10 people are needed to get things moving and ensure they can be organised and raise enough funds to relaunch the event next summer.

Brampton Carnival traditionally took place on the Sunday before the August bank holiday.

It was revived in the 1990s by Brampton parish council, which ran it for a number of years, and at its peak was a fun-filled, entertaining event for everyone in the town.

The committee held regular meetings throughout the year, along with various fundraising events. The council said it cost about £10,000, depending on entertainment, and that grants were required to make it possible.

It stopped because the parade was largely made up of floats from committee members, only one pub – The Shoulder of Mutton – and people walking, even though the committee offered grants for people to do floats.
