So that is Carnival over for another year. We hope you enjoyed it.

It was great to have the funfair back in The Square – thanks to Jon Hutchings for helping organise that.

And also a big thank you to all our sponsors (Torch Vets, Holsworthy Lions, Fly & Joy, and Holsworthy Town Council) – and to everybody who helped on the night or beforehand. Too many to mention individually. But we couldn’t have done it with out you.

The full results of the Carnival follow – see you in 2025…
