Carnival Parade

---

It is tradition to have a Carnival Royal Family to lead the parade. We have proudly held two coronation  events to crown them as our 2025 Carnival Royal Family 

👑 King ~ Nigel Osmond 

Not only was Nigel our local postie and during covid times made a lot of people smile with his dressing up whilst doing his rounds he was the talk of the town, but he also knows how to cheer people up.

He then went onto working at the Football Club and he has done so much work turning the club around, there is no doubt that Nigel has put the junior section in a far stronger position and his biggest legacy is how he has helped firmly establish the Junior section in the heart of both the club and the community. Nigel has made such a positive difference to the PTFC

👑 Queen ~ Tam Louise 

Always putting so much effort into raising money for local community charities, not only is she lovely she is always supporting anyone she can, constantly reaching out to help people where ever she can and puts others before herself – Tam has a heart of gold and is always there when needed, Tam and her family are the heart of Portishead.

Tam has a pure passion for serving her community since a young age and continues to work hard all the time and never does it without a smile – nothing knocks this girl down!!

👑 Lady in Waiting ~ Rachel Osmond 

Rachel does so much for the youngsters of Portishead, helping them to play football and has put so much effort into making the football club a success, she is hard working and never gives up giving everyone a chance to be a part of a team

event. This ensures not only your safety but

also that of the participants.

Road closures will be in place while the

procession takes place and the roads will

reopen once the parade has fully

concluded, so please remain on the

pavements and avoid following the last

truck onto the main roads.

For your safety, do not sit on the kerbs with

your legs or feet in the road

Our marshals will be in place to keep

everyone safe - please be mindful and

respectful toward them

If you know someone participating in the

parade, we ask that you wait to meet them

at the show field and do not walk into the

road to join them.

Collection buckets will be in place along

the parade route. Please remain where you

are and wait for an authorised collector to

approach you - for your safety, do not step

into the road to meet them. Please only use

our official buckets as this is a condition of
