MUSIC by the Flying Emperors will get the 80th Bowes carnival under way next Friday when they perform in the village hall at 8pm.

A fancy dress parade and the crowning of the carnival queen take place the following day, with a theme of the Olympics. Activities including wellie-wanging and a fell race will be held on the Sunday.

In the evening, the Jilly Jarman Trio will play in St Giles Church.

Anyone wanting to help with any event or wanting further details can contact carnival secretary Rosie Bettison on (01833) 628343.
