Wheelbarrow Race Friday
A pub crawl with a difference. Teams of two race around the pubs of Swanage sipping a pint of their best ale at each establishment.

Great fun to take part, great fun to watch. 

Yard Of Ale Wednesday

The tradition of the Yard of Ale dates back to the 17th Century. The current world record, set in 1985, is five seconds!
Come along and attempt to down a yard of ale, about two and half pints as quickly as you can.

 

 

Treasure Hunts All week
There is a car and foot treasure hunt during Swanage Carnival week. The car treasure hunt will take you to many interesting places around Purbeck whilst the foot treasure hunt can lead you all over Swanage. A great way to learn something new about the area. There are prizes for the winners.

What's Not My Line All week
This must be one of the oldest events in Carnival! A chance to window shop around Swanage. The aim of the game is to find an item in the participating shop window that is not sold by the shop. Its harder than you think and the shop owners are getting more cunning each year.
Entry forms will be available from the Swanage Regatta and Carnival caravan on the sea front.  50p a form.
