THE first ever Riccall Carnival will take place next week, with a host of events based around a Caribbean theme.
The launch of the event, which organisers hope will become an annual celebration, arose from the success of last year's Golden Jubilee Weekend.
The party will start on Friday, with the Tuesday Singers kicking things off at St. Mary's Church from 7.30pm.
On Saturday, there will be a family fun day at the Regen Centre from 1pm with stalls, live music and children's entertainment and games.
From 8pm there will be a disco and live group in the Village Institute.
Things are a bit more relaxed on the Sunday with a community service at 11.30am on Millennium Green, followed by a picnic at 1pm on the village green. Music will be provided by Billy Bills.
Anyone who would like further information about the carnival should phone Lynne Adamson on 01757 248174.
