The Sidmouth Carnival Committee has said that it is 'desperately' in need of new members to keep the carnival running.

There has not been a carnival in Sidmouth since 2019.

Anyone can join, regardless of age or background, and help with fundraising, planning, and the carnival itself.

Spokesperson for the Sidmouth Carnival Committee Holly Nash said: "We are desperately in need of new members to join Sidmouth Carnival Committee in order to keep the carnival running.

"We are looking for people of all ages and backgrounds to help us with fundraising events, on the day of the carnival and the general planning of the day.

"Whether people can commit to every meeting or just helping us on the night we still need new members.

"With no carnivals for the last two years we want to come back stronger and better than ever this year to put on an amazing event for the town but this cannot happen without new members."

New members can come along and introduce themselves at the committee's annual general meeting at 7.30pm on Friday 18 March at Sidford Social Hall.
