Dates for Swanage Carnival have been announced, and there’s less than 150 days to go.

The carnival fell victim to Covid restrictions in 2020 and 2021, but after a two-year absence it’s set to return.

And the “south coast’s premier carnival event for the whole family” finally returns from Saturday July 30 to Saturday August 6.

In 2019, the carnival featured 100 different things to do including a firework display.

The event is run entirely by volunteers and has previously raised around £30,000 for charity.
