The crowning of the carnival queen will take place at 1.45pm and then the grand procession will travel around the town before returning to the Groe for an afternoon of entertainment and activities.

The afternoon will end with Tug of War for teams of 10 people. The winner will receive one crate of lager and The Jilly Burns Cup. There will also be the draw of the grand raffle and the 100 club.
