MORE than £6,000 was raised for community charities at the 21st annual Tarporley Carnival.
The glorious sunshine arrived just in time for the carnival, which was jointly organised by the Rotary Club of Tarporley and the District Round Table.
With ‘village life’ the theme for this year, the event began with the Carnival’s popular parade down Tarporley High Street.
The Jeff Lewis Jazz Quartet played as the parade passed by the judges on the steps of The Swan Hotel.
And on the field the parade gathered for the entrants’ awards and the Crowning of The Tarporley and Village Queens.
A pipe band played followed by an exciting display from the Fire Brigade Fire and Rescue Team.
Entertainment was provided throughout the afternoon by Tarporley Primary school choir, Bo the clown and more jazz music.
Carnival chairman, Andrew Wallace said: “Once again the Tarporley community came together for a great day.
“This has been another great Tarporley carnival and I’d like to thank all the members of Round Table and Tarporley Rotary Club, as well as the many volunteers from local community groups and organisations, who have worked hard to make the carnival such a success.
“It has resulted in raising £6,000 for local charities whilst we all got to have some fun in the sun.”
