The dates have been fixed for a week of activities, starting on Sunday, July 7, with a bed race and ending on Saturday, July 13, with the traditional carnival parade and entertainments.

Now the search is on for a carnival queen.

Anyone interested should telephone Hadleigh Lions secretary Jeff Smithson, on 01473 827348 for further details.

The next carnival meeting will be on Tuesday, January 15, at 8pm in the George Hotel, High Street.

Anyone willing to volunteer to help with carnival organisation is welcome to attend.
