Sadly the team behind last years successful event, which returned after a year off say they can't commit to another event.
They posted on the official Facebook page yesterday
"Firstly happy new year to you all !!
It is with a heavy heart & sadness that we have to announce that we as a committee cannot commit to organising Hinckley Carnival this year . With increasing demands from the council & little support it is beyond our reach. We are thankful & grateful to all who supported us and helped us last year and we are proud of our achievements ![]()
If you or anyone you know would like to take the task on please contact this page or the events team at the Hinckley & Bosworth Council.
Thank you Hinckley for 2017 ...... and we are hopeful that someone will save the carnival once again
🙏🏻
