Hanwell Carnival
@hanwellcarnival
WELCOME
from Team Carnival
How time flies. That’s
another year gone and
it’s carnival time again.
Our big news for 2016 is
that we’ve expanded.
Partly because of building
work at Elthorne Park High
School, the carnival will be held
not just in the main park but
also in the rear extension.
The main stages, beer and food
will be at the back. The fairground,
children’s attractions, dog show,
acoustic tent and all the stalls
will remain in the main section.
That means more room for
even more fun, so don’t forget
to check out both areas.
so this year ECT (everyone will
have seen their green buses
around Ealing) is teaming up with
Ealing Centre for Independent
Living (ECIL) to ensure people
with mobility issues can come to
carnival, secure in the knowledge
they will be dropped off in a safe
place and they will have a ride
home (see page 23 for details).
In other news, the more
eagle-eyed surfers out there
will have already noticed our
brand spanking new website,
courtesy of Darren Moore of Now
Communications in Brentford.
So go have a look and hopefully
it will inspire you to get involved
because as ever, Hanwell Carnival
would love to hear from people
willing to help out, whether it
is on the day or in the run-up.
On the sporting front, carnival is
delighted to welcome Brentford
Football Club and Ealing
Finally, keep your collective
Trailfinders Rugby Club for their
fingers crossed for a rain-free
inaugural year. They will be

running the sports zone where
there will be football and rugby
(obviously!) and also Ultimate
Frisbee, basketball and Dodgeball.
We’re always trying to make
carnival as inclusive as possible,

Food and drink
A day out at carnival wouldn’t be
complete without something to
eat and drink. This year the main
food stands are in the back field.
Wood fired pizza, Oriental, Spanish,
Caribbean and Mexican as well as
good old burgers and a hog roast. If
you need a drink to wash it all down,
the beer tent– with draught beerand our Pimms tent are nearby.
Proud to support
Hanwell Carnival
Any profits
from these will
be ploughed
back into next
year’s event.
In the front
section of the
park you’ll
find a smaller
drinks tent
selling cans.
Three charities - League of
Friends Ealing Hospital, United
Anglo Caribbean Society and The
Sunshine Foundation - will also be
selling food in the front section.
Our thanks to The Forester Pub,
The Best and Rheian Davies at
DH Law for all their help.
Did you know that Hanwell Carnival is
London’s longest running Carnival?
It first took place in 1898 and was set up
with the purpose to raise money for Ealing
Hospital (formerly known as the Cottage
Hospital).
At Bevells, we are passionate about
supporting local charitable organisations
and are delighted to announce our offer to
donate 5% of all sales profits* to:
• PESTS: helping parents and children with
additional needs
• ECIL: supporting disabled people to live
full and independent lives

engineer carnival could not do
without. He sorts out the sound
on the music, community

His name’s Keith Loosely and he
owns Knight Sound and Light
in the heart of Hanwell on the
Uxbridge Road. He hires out
equipment to DJs but back in
the 1970s he was a DJ himself.
As Keith Kristian, he built up
such a reputation he worked
with some of the big names
of the day from Radio One.
Having left school at 15 with
no qualifications and not much
idea of what he wanted to do, he
got a job as a TV aerial fitter and
started “building things” such

Back in his DJ days Keith Kristian
got £50 per disco. Might not
sound like much but back then,
the average weekly wage was
£32, a Big Mac cost 40p and a
pint of lager 20p. Not sure how
much white suits cost though….

Ace Motif is only 22 but he’s
already been performing music
for 11 years. Currently studying
English Literature at university,
he’s not only a talented singer,

also lists acting and modeling
among his accomplishments.
He says he wants to channel his
passion for the arts and use it
to challenge – even smash - the
stereotypes people have about
young black men. He’s also
good at freestyling – making
up songs off the top of his head
or even using words or phrases
shouted out by the audience.

ANIMAL ZONE
One of carnival’s most popular
attractions is back again, with
its petting zoo, pony rides and
crocodiles.
The petting farm is provided by
Appreciating Animals - a mobile
zoo that takes all sorts of animals
to schools, residential homes
and public events. You’ll have
the chance to get up close and
personal with loads of cute and
cuddly creatures.
The shows will be timed and in
each one you’ll first see a large
crocodile and learn all about
them – plus ask any questions
you might have – and then you’ll
get to see and even hold some
smaller ones. Buy your tickets at
the Animal Zone, go and have a
look around some of the other
attractions then come back for
your show.
There’s always a queue for our
pony rides where children often
experience sitting in a saddle for
the first time. This year there will
be more ponies – so hopefully
you won’t have to wait as long.
The UK’s only crocodile zoo
– Crocodiles of the World in
Oxfordshire – is rapidly becoming
a carnival tradition.

WHAT CARNIVAL MEANS
TO CHARITIES
The carnival is London’s
oldest, first taking place in
1898, and it was established
to raise money for the Cottage
Hospital, now Ealing Hospital.
Charity is still the carnival’s
reason for being, and many
stalls will be occupied by groups
highlighting their cause and
hoping to raise some money.
As charities are so important
to the carnival, their stalls are
subsidised which means they
only pay half the cost. Charities
also take part in the procession.
Abid Hussain is a carnival
stalwart. He runs a sweet stand
as a business but every year he
donates the profits from a few
events he attends – of which
carnival is one - to the Imran
Khan Cancer Appeal (IKCA).
The charity, whose founding
chairman is cricket legend turned
politician Imran Khan, helps
run the only cancer hospital in
Pakistan which provides free
cancer treatment to patients
who cannot afford it.

delighted to have them onside.
The club’s Community Sports

Hanwell Carnival
it’ll be running football-based
activities throughout the day.
On the second pitch, there will
be a mixture of sports including
Ultimate Frisbee, Basketball and
Dodgeball.
Activities are suitable for
children aged 5-18, and the
@hanwellcarnival
coaches will organise players
into their respective age groups
for the games. There is no limit
on numbers and there’s no cost.
An application form must be
completed before taking part
in any of the activities, but this
is done on the day itself. Greg
Hardman, schools and coaches
manager at the Trust, said: “We
are thrilled to be part of this year’s
Hanwell Carnival. “Events that are
as deep rooted as the Hanwell
Carnival are so important to the
local community. As a Sports
Trust, we have a community
responsibility to support events
like this where we can actively
promote sport and healthy lifestyle.
Thanks to Everyone Active for

tackling another of the courts
and all ages are welcome to
come and play rugby with
their experienced coaches and

“Hanwell Carnival is one of
Ealing’s biggest celebrations of
what is good about our area.
“We are delighted to be a part of
what appears to be quite a line-up
and like us run by an army of willing
volunteers. “Many Hanwellians
have supported our club on our
rise through the leagues, notably
when we won the 2015 National 1
to take us to our current position in
the Championship, so it is a great
way to come and hang out in their
manor with some prizes on offer.”

Community Champions
Royalty 2016
Hanwell Carnival has chosen
its three VIPs to lead the
2016 procession.
Prince Alex, who attends Oaklands
Primary School in Hanwell, said:
“I’m looking forward to the parade
and people waving at you”.
The new Queen is Lovely Vaid,
princess is Holly FitzgeraldMunro and Alex Chudek was
crowned the prince.
The eight-year-old is a real
community champion and loves
Hanwell for its “nice people”.
The judges – Mayor of Ealing
Councillor Harbhajan Kaur Dheer
and consort Councillor Ranjit Dheer,
Councillor Joanna Camadoo and
former carnival queen Jo Evans had a tough job deciding between
the applicants at the selection
event in Hanwell Community
Centre on Sunday 24 April.
The mayor said it was a very difficult
decision and paid tribute to the
organisers of Hanwell Carnival.
Ms Camadoo said: “There was
a great range of candidates,
all very enthusiastic.”
Holly, eight, who lives in West Ealing
and is a pupil at St Mark’s Primary
in Hanwell, is “looking forward to
seeing all the people smiling”.
She goes to carnival every year
and is a big fan of the dog show.
The new queen is no stranger to
Hanwell Carnival – beautician and
mother-of-two Lovely Vaid has been
part of our royal family before.
Mrs Vaid, 31, from Greenford, said:
“I like to help the community. I
really enjoyed the day and wanted
to be involved in carnival again.”

BEATING THE BOUNDS
This year’s Beating the Bounds
took place on Bank Holiday
Monday (May 2nd) and it was a
rather chilly day. Nonetheless
55 people and several dogs
set off on the historic threehour walk around Hanwell’s
ancient boundaries – to
ensure they were all intact and
undamaged by insurgents
from neighbouring parishes.
lesser known ones including a
back garden (!), all of which have
boundary stones attesting to
their age and historic function.
For Fiona Biggins and David
Bishopp, who moved to Hanwell
in 2015, it was the perfect way to
spend the day and get to know
the area. “We went to the Hootie
this year and last, and we wanted
to get a feel of another aspect
to the community,” said Fiona.
Before the walk they were
attentively reading the booklet all
participants receive in return for
a donation, which goes towards
carnival (£200 was raised in total).
The eight-mile/12 km walk
takes in many of Hanwell’s best
known features - the Grand
Union Canal, Bunny Park,
Wharncliffe Viaduct and some

“We’re really hoping to get
to see some of the history
of the area,” said David.
@hanwellcarnival
We’d like to thank - Elaine Hill
for organising the walk, the
Clarke family, Conor O’Sullivan
and Haslemere Avenue
Allotments for allowing access
to four of the stones, the
William Hobbayne Community
Gardens for providing the willow
branches that everyone used
to beat the boundary stones.
And thanks to carnival’s Mike
Gahan for leading the walk and
singing (at the same time!).
