SMILES were aplenty as the return of Tintagel Carnival was welcomed by the community.

After the event, a spokesperson for the organising committee said: “Tintagel Carnival Committee members were overwhelmed by the support and the size of the crowds at their first Carnival since 2019.

“They would like to thank all their entries, without them there wouldn’t be a procession, to Chris Weight for commentating, to all the committee old and new, and the family members that were dragged in to help, the Royalty, volunteers, to all their supporters over the last year and to everyone that came out showing their support, it certainly brought the village together.”

Confirming the date of the next event, they added: “Make sure you keep August 8 2026 free!”
