Newton Carnival 2022

What an amazing carnival, all of the floats were excellent! Greater Creative got involved using funding from Creative Civic Change to comission three artists to work with local schools groups to design three wonderful floats and see those ideas come to life on the big day.

A huge well done to the groups from Blackwell, Newton and Westhouses schools who worked with artists Rachel Scanlon, Stephanie Siân Coley and Emma Reynard. An extra special well done to the group from Newton school who worked with Emma as they won the prize for best float! Congratulations to all of the children involved their unique idea really came to life and well done artist Emma Reynard for bringing their ideas to life with them.
