Helpers are needed to fundraise for this year's Sidmouth Carnival and play a part in organising the event.

The Carnival Committee is holding its AGM on Wednesday, March 13, and anyone who would like to get involved is invited to attend.

Holly Phillips, chair of the committee, said: "We need people to help us with fundraising activities, planning the carnival and helping to facilitate the smooth running of carnival day, which this year will be held on Saturday 28th September. 

"If you can commit two or three hours per month to helping keep this annual tradition alive we’d love to hear from you."

The AGM will take place at the Blue Ball Inn in Sidford, starting at 7.30pm. If anyone would like to get involved but is unable to attend the AGM, they can email sidmouthcarnival@outlook.com
