COLOURFUL outfits and resplendent fancy dress costumes will parade through the streets of Burton on Saturday for the village’s annual scout carnival.

Youngsters and members of the village scout and guide groups will be donning their colourful get-up for the parade on Saturday afternoon with new Burton carnival princess, 13-year-old Highcliffe School student Ellie Peroni giving the procession a regal air.

The parade will leave the school at 1.30pm and arrive at Burton recreation ground in Martins Hill Lane around 2pm.

Performances by Kaleidoscope and other music acts will take place throughout the afternoon along with stalls and other entertainment.

The Mayor of Christchurch Cllr Nick Geary will also be attending the event.
