THE THEME for a popular market town carnival has been released ahead of its 2025 date.

The Ledbury Carnival Association has announced that this year's event will have a theme of 'Wonders of the World'.

The event will be held on a bank holiday on Monday, August 25.

This year marks the 51st consecutive event since the carnival started in 1975, after a break of almost twenty years.

Carnival association chairman, Mal Hughes, was delighted to confirm that plans are already "well in hand" to deliver a family day for the people of Ledbury.

"Last year’s ‘Going for Gold’ theme was enthusiastically adopted by many organisations and families who took part in the carnival procession," she said.

"This year we hope that even more groups and families will take part in our carnival and I am proud to announce that the theme for 2025 will be ‘Wonders of the World’.   

"So, thinking caps on and let’s get planning for a great Ledbury day.”

The carnival association said that offers of help are "always welcome", with vacancies on the committee which need to be filled.
