EVENTS AROUND SHALDON

SHALDON WATER CARNIVALShaldon Water Carnival is special. It has a 50 year history, and we believe that the parade of decorated boats, painstakingly created by residents and businesses is unique. The event is on the first Saturday in August. This is day filled with lots of activities on the beach before the spectacular parade of decorated boats. Later enjoy the party and barbeque on the village green. |

At mid day the Carnival Queen is driven through the village to her coronation on the Village Green. At the Water Carnival in August The Carnival Queen and Princesses are carried on a spectacular float through the village to join in the procession of boats. |

THE HELEN FOUNDATIONThe Helen Foundation was launched in early 2006 as a living memorial to Helen Kirk, a Shaldon girl and a former Carnival Queen, who tragically died after a road accident on Boxing Day, 2005. A registered charity, The Foundation supports the artistic aspirations of young people, especially those lacking financial support, within Teignbridge. By providing awards in schools, arts-based workshops and bursaries the Foundation encourages and supports other young people to pursue their ambitions as Helen was able to. |
