Burwell Carnival 2011
£10,635 was raised and distributed to 32 participating local groups & activities. The float theme this year was 'The Natural World' and, as usual, an amazing amount of effort went into the floats. Live music was provided by local bands including 'The Abstracts', 'Abba Queens' and 'Sexy like a Gypsy'.
