After careful consideration and research, we are thrilled to introduce a new Youth Engagement and Representative Programme for the Corfe Mullen Carnival. While we remain mindful of tradition, we also want to ensure that the Carnival evolves to be inclusive, relevant, and engaging for all.

As part of this positive change, we will be retiring the traditional Prince and Princess selection and replacing it with a f new initiative that encourages greater youth involvement in organising and running Corfe Mullen Carnival events. This will include:

  • Carnival Champions (ages 14-18) – Taking an active role in planning and leading events.
  • Junior Champions (ages 9-13) – Supporting activities and getting involved behind the scenes.
  • Carnival Young Supporters (ages 5-8) – A fun and engaging way for our youngest members of our community to be part of the celebrations.

Over the coming months, we will collaborate closely with schools and various youth organisations to establish partnerships that will enable us to develop and promote innovative methods for engaging young people in organising Carnival events. By involving youth in the planning and execution of these activities, we aim to foster a sense of ownership and inclusivity, ensuring the Carnival remains relevant for all participants now and in the future.
