Bovey Carnival just around the corner

Carnival week is almost with us again, a lot of planning and hard work gone into organising this years event - by a very small (but very keen!) Carnival Committee. 

This years Carnival follows on closely behind the many & varied events organised to celebrate the 750th Anniversary of the towns market charter, which have hopefully been a huge success, for these reasons we have decided to cut back on some events this year. Hopefully we've left in your favourites, & look forward to seeing you all at as many events as possible.
