Gourmet Food

Come sample the best the area has to offer. Local lamb cooked on the spit, Fresh Lee Fish Burgers, sweet corn roasted on the cob, and skewers of steak and prawns. Inside the hall, the Carnival Café offers so much more than the traditional Devonshire teas, with fine coffee and a variety of baked goods to enjoy, scones with homemade jams and lashings of fresh whipped cream and of course great coffee will be on hand.

Wine Auction

Our local wine makers have gained world-wide recognition for their outstanding vintages. Many fine wines have been generously donated and will be exhibited and auctioned in the Leigh Community Hall from 12pm on Sunday afternoon.

Carnival Fun

There are always plenty of fun rides and activities for kids of all ages at the fantastic Leigh Carnival. For the grown-ups: it wouldn’t be a carnival without the quickfire raffles! Local businesses have generously donated fabulous prizes, including a vast amount of fresh seafood from our loyal sponsor, the Leigh Fisheries.
