2012 Ellesmere Carnival could be the last
This year’s Ellesmere Carnival could be the last it was revealed today.
The annual north Shropshire event which takes place in August is struggling to find funding to host next year’s event which costs in the region of £8,000.
The committee said around £5,000 is needed to help keep the carnival which see’s two parades take place through the market town at 1pm and 8.30pm and entertainment in Cremorne Gardens throughout the day.
Around 4,000 people annually visit for the event.
Local businesses are being encouraged to support the event on Saturday August 28 and new committee members and helpers are being encouraged to get involved.
A number of events have been organised to help raise funds.
More information about the event can be found at www.ellesmerecarnival.com.
