Carnival organisers '˜very sad' to postpone event
The organisers of Kemptown Carnival have announced the '˜massively disappointing' decision to postpone the festival for another year.
They said although it was on good financial footing, this year’s event would be postponed to 2019, to give the newly-formed Kemptown Carnival CIC (community interest company) time to develop a new governing body.
It added that ‘the current national UK climate on public safety and the additional operational challenges that face an open access event required significantly more time than was anticipated’.
