Kate Cousins, Carnival Court Manager, said: “We are really grateful to all who applied to be in the carnival court this year, it made the judge’s decision very difficult.

“We have been working hard to ensure that the girls are equipped ready for the season of events they have been asked to attend.

We are grateful to court sponsor Emma Hellier, who again has provided the court with assistance in keeping up appearances.”

A diverse array of Carnival Week events this year include, walking football, a commando fitness course, a dog show and boot sale.
