FORGET about the snow!

Thoughts are focused on a major summer event in the Vale of Clwyd.

This year's Denbigh Carnival is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 24 and a number of initiatives are taking place ahead of the big day.

A fundraising event to raise money for the carnival will be taking place on Sunday, March 26.

This will be the next table-top sale organised by Anne-Marie Jones.

The sale will take place in Denbigh Town Hall between 10am and 2pm.

All proceeds from the kitchen on the day will go towards Denbigh Carnival.

Meanwhile, carnival organisers have been selling tickets for the grand raffle during the June extravaganza.

First prize will be a £150 voucher with Daniel Morris Butchers, while the second prize will be a £100 Morrisons gift card, donated by Ruthin Artisan Markets CIC.

A number of other prizes will be up for grabs and tickets are priced at £1 apiece.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Denbigh Carnival was missing from the events calendar for three years from 2019.

However, last June saw a big return for the event - and the crowds turned out in force.

The carnival procession departed from the council office at Caledfryn.
Heading down Smithfield Road, the procession then passed through Lenten Pool, over the High Street and down Vale Street, before turning onto Ruthin Road and Park Street to enter Middle Park, next to Denbigh Town Football Club.
