Carnival might be about planning, making floats and costumes, decorating shop windows, selling raffle tickets, practising songs and dances... but who will win the Tug of War ?
It's fantastic to witness the preparation for the Radcliffe Carnival as you go around the village:
Shop Windows are taking on a new identity as they are decorated with their interpretation of "The Show Must Go On" and I'm so glad not to be a judge this year. The judging will take place on Friday afternoon, so do go and look at all the fabulous entries.
I know that many children on their walk to school are eagerly watching the development of the latest of Steve Phair's incredible creations for the Boy's Brigade Walking Float. Not long until it is revealed and I am certain it will live up to its title of " This could be the greatest show in Radcliffe".
So don't miss out on one of Radcliffe's special community events, be at The Grange from 12 or watch the procession come down from Golf Road at 1:00 and join us at the Grange. Admission is £2 for Adults with Children: Free, and there is a fantastic afternoon of entertainment planned.
Every part of village life will be represented: from the Playgroup in the Procession & the Infant School Choir in the Arena, to the U3A Ukulele Band serenading you with familiar songs whilst you enjoy a cup of tea and delicious cakes served by the Womens Institute.
