Bridgnorth carnival kids are sought . . . by 'royal' appointment
Organisers of this year’s Bridgnorth Carnival are looking for a team of youngsters to represent the event as ‘Carnival Royalty’.
Applications are invited to fill the roles of four ‘Royals’ aged eight to 11 and 12 to 16, and the successful candidates will lead the Carnival Procession on Friday, June 3.
Carnival organiser James Gittins said: “This year’s carnival will of course coincide with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee week and so we decided we should appoint our very own young ‘Royals’ to play a major part in our celebrations.
“There will be a girl and boy in each age group and all entrants have to do is answer one simple question – ‘Why would you like to be Carnival Royalty?’.”
Applications, including name, address, age, telephone number, email address and the answer to the question, should be emailed to bridgnorthtowncarnival@yahoo.com by April 15.
This year will see the return of this hugely popular event which was last held in 2019 and was postponed twice due to Covid.
There are still pitches available on Severn Park for stallholders, applications should be made via email, and anyone keen to volunteer to help on the day or beforehand should contact organisers, again via email.
