All Set For Market Harborough Carnival

Final plans are being put in place ahead of Market Harborough Carnival tomorrow.

500 people will kick the day off taking part in the 10k Carnival Run from 10am and the big parade of over 20 floats will  take to the streets from 11am.

From midday, Symington’s Recreation Ground will be the place to be, with fun activities and entertainment for the whole family continuing into the early evening.

The HFM team will also be there!

The carnival will have a ‘green’ feel to it this year, to mark the start of the Harborough Great Big Green Week.

Caroline Attamah is from the carnival organising committee and told HFM more about what’s in store:

Admission to the showground is £3 for adults and £2 for children, or £8 for a family ticket (2+2)
