Belinda Bennett provides a round-up of South West illuminated carnivals
THE full colour, glossy programme for this year's Honiton and District Carnival, including details of the town's second Christmas Carnival, are on sale at The Paper Shop, in New Street, and Honiton Garage, at Turks Head.
A longer length video of Sidmouth Carnival will go 'live' on this website tomorrow (Tuesday).
It will feature most of the entries from last Saturday's procession, including Axminster Young Farmers' Club, Seaton Explorer Scouts CC, Tango JCC, Hillside Garage, Nymphos CC, Nunsford Nutters CC, royal floats, Brimspear, South Brent CC, Chard Goldstars, some walking classes, Tic Toc CC, Ayshburton Stannery and plenty more.
Stuart Hughes, retiring organiser of Sidmouth Carnival, explains his decision to stand down and Richard Sattlerley, chairman of Nymphos CC, talks about this year's entry.
