🎉 Get Ready for the Guernsey Round Table Harbour Carnival 2024! 🎆
Harbour Carnival
Mark your calendars because on Friday, August 23rd, the Guernsey Round Table is once again putting on the carnival that’ll light up St Peter Port Harbour! 🌟
The old favourites 🚤 The great Drake Race, 🛶 the Ladies Dinghy Race, 💪 Tug of War, and of course the Man-Powered Flight—we’ve got it all! 🏁
But that’s not all, it wouldn't be carnival without fireworks to close the event. 🎇
This year we are raising money for the Chanel Islands Air Search, to align with the air ambulance fund raising objectives for Round Table of Great Britain and Ireland but with a Guernsey twist.
To whet your appetite here is the video of last year's events, thanks to Element films for making this happen and for once again agreeing to make a film of this years event.

Event Sponsors
The Harbour Carnival is a big undertaking with many firms and contractors giving their time for free, however there are inevitably costs which can't be avoided and as we raise money each year split between a main Bailiwick Beneficiary and Guernsey Round Table Chartable giving we rely on main event sponsors to ensure we can give as much money as possible to these worthy causes.
We are truly grateful for the help and support of these sponsors, without whom this free community event could not happen, so please show your support and appreciation for all our sponsors detailed below.
