Ramsey Carnival’s organisers are appealing for help to pay for children’s rides for the event.

The event - on July 20 - will be the town’s third annual carnival.

The parade will start at 2pm from the swimming pool and proceed along Old River Road, North Shore Road and enter the Mooragh Park at Ballacloan.

Judging will take place outside the rugby ground.

Prizes will be given for best floats, best walking groups, and individual costumes across different age categories.

Ramsey Commissioners, AFD Software Ltd and Mezeron Ltd are sponsoring the event.

But the committee is looking for more support to fund children’s rides. If you can help, contact committee member Jacqui Kneen on 467258 or email [email protected]
