Roll up! Roll up! We are all getting excited for the Vintage Carnival taking place in the grounds of our Blind Veterans UK centre in Brighton on 8 September.

There will be assault courses, fairground games, artefacts from Newhaven Fort, vintage frocks, bric a brac, classic cars, beer tent and stalls galore! Free for everyone, it promises to be a day of vintage fun for all the family.

The carnival will be formally opened at 11.30am by newly appointed Chief Executive of Brighton and Hove Albion FC, Paul Barber, and there will be entertainment throughout the day including performances by Kas – the new forces sweetheart, Dave Master’s big band and Disco Stu, plus a cheerleading and dance workshop by the Gully’s Girls.

Want to get involved? We are always after volunteers to help run games, manage stalls, serve refreshments and help sell raffle tickets! For all those avid bakers out there, we are also looking for volunteers to help bake cakes, make jams, marmalades and chutneys prior to the event. If this sounds like your kind of thing then get in touch at ovingdeanfundraising@blindveterans.org.uk

We look forward to seeing you there!
