The carnival, one of the highlights of the town’s calendar, will take place on Saturday 13th July this year. It was cancelled last year because the Carnival team couldn’t raise the £3,000 to cover the basic costs.
But following months of fundraising, the event is set to make a big comeback after the team reached their fundraising target.
