Plea for volunteers for Bridgnorth festival as event makes long-awaited return
Organisers of Bridgnorth Carnival say more volunteers are needed as plans for this year's event progress.
The event, to be held on Friday, June 3, to coincide with the Queen's Platinum jubilee, is set to be the first full carnival since 2016.
Problems with the weather and the Covid-19 pandemic have curtailed the carnival in recent years but a new committee has taken it on and appealed for volunteers, stall holders, traders and community groups to enter floats for the procession.
It will begin at the livestock market and parade through town towards Severn Park, with live music featuring and a chance for traders from the town to take up stalls.
James Gittins, from the organising committee said the response so far had been good but they could always do with more.
He said: "We have had a good take up of volunteers and of floats and stalls but there is always room for more.
"This will be the first carnival proper for a few years after we decided to resurrect it and it is set to be a very big event , particularly as it will coincide with the platinum jubilee celebrations, with the whole country likely to be on a high."
