In 2022, Chatham held a community town centre carnival for the first time in 20 years!
‘This has been possible because of suggestions from community groups to bring back a carnival in Chatham. The last couple of years have been a big challenge for everyone, but particularly the traders in Chatham. We want to bring the community back together again.’ - David Stokes, the CEO of Nucleus Arts
