With well over three thousand votes cast, the results of this year’s carnival theme vote are in! 

After taking an early lead and never looking back, Lyrical Genius has stormed home with a whopping 62% of the vote

And, after offering up a foodie theme option for three years on the trot… we hear you loud and clear. It’s finally time to send ‘Grubs Up!’ to the compost bin, once and for all. Thank u, next. 

‘Lyrical Genius’ is all about turning lyrics into looks, so take a line and run absolutely wild with it… after last year’s show of pun-based mastery, we know you’ve got it in you.

From chart-toppers to cult classics, power ballads to guilty pleasures, protest songs to pop perfection – all genres, eras and artists, all misheard lyrics, deep cuts and one-hit wonders are fair game. Interpret freely. Create wondrously.

Here’s a few ideas to get your creative cogs a-turning… 

Hop in a big yellow taxi, or on the midnight train, we’re off to never never land! Welcome to the jungle, where all the young dudes and dancing queens laugh in the purple rain. Overhead, a bat out of hell flies, just like the white wing dove, past 99 red balloons. Are you the egg man? Are you the walrus?

Huge thanks to everyone who voted! Now that Saturday’s theme is settled, keep your eyes peeled for our Flamboyant Friday colour theme vote, launching next week…

A little note on tickets and payment plans, whilst we’ve got your eyeballs:

Young Adult and Elders tickets are running super low (we’re talking mere handfuls left), and Tier 3s and Green Travellers are also flying out – which is lovely to see, thank you.

If you’re planning to grab your ticket on one of our payment plans, here’s an important heads up: If you start your plan after 6th February, your monthly payments will be slightly higher, as there’ll be one less payment to spread the cost before the final deadline on 6th July.

Secure your spot at the lowest possible price now, and pay the rest in 6 easy chunks!

Big love x
