A SERIES of events and activities have been arranged in support of this year’s Trowbridge Carnival.

In the run up to the main event on October 20, the carnival committee team have organised a prize bingo night at the Wesley Road Club on August 3 at 6.30pm.

This is followed by the soapbox derby on August 19 in the town centre, followed by the county fair in Trowbridge Town Park and a quiz night at the Polish Club, Waterworks Road, on September 17 at 7.30pm - which includes a fish and chip dinner.

Trowbridge Carnival chairman, Maryrose Mantle, said: “Last year’s carnival was fantastic, especially when people nominated local heroes and heroines.

“We want to build on that excitement with these events in the run up to the main event in October. If we can get some more helpers for that, that would be great.”
