ILMINSTER’S Children’s Carnival is just around the corner . . . and now’s your last chance to join in the procession.

The procession will assemble at the Frog Lane Youth Centre car park at 1pm on Saturday, September 27, for a 1.45pm start, heading along East Street, past Market Square and down Silver Street before joining West Street and turning right along High Street (Strawberry Bank), down North Street to the Market Square and back to Frog Lane.

Shops and businesses are invited to take part in the annual shop window competition on any theme and will be judged during carnival week (September 27-October 4).

A cup is awarded for the best window display at the presentation on carnival night.

Wednesday, October 1, sees a quiz night at the Shrubbery Hotel at 7pm for a 7.30pm start.

A carnival sale is at Market Square on Friday, October 3, from 9am, and the same day there is a carnival disco at the Shrubbery Hotel from 9pm to 10pm – tickets cost £5 on the door.

To enter carnival, fill in the entry form in this week's paper and return it to Ilminster Hardware by September 25.
