 | | After numerous public debates and much discussion, it has officially been decided that Leicester Carnival, which is the second largest multicultural event in the UK after Notting Hill Carnival, will remain in Victoria Park. |
 | | The move to Abbey Park was suggested after the committee raised £45,000 and still ended with a deficit last year, despite the main funder, Leicester City Council, providing sponsorship both 'in kind' and directly. |
 | | Chair of the Leicester Carnival Committee, Dennis Christopher, said that after taking into consideration the suggestions and concerns of the wider community, the decision has been made to continue the celebrations at Victoria Park, as has been done since inception. |
