SAVE the date in your diaries, as organisers of the popular Hale Barns Carnival have announced it will return next summer.

The fourth annual Hale Barns Carnival will take place on Saturday July 18 and Sunday July 19 next year at St Ambrose Fields, after this years’ event raised over £100,000 for charity in the festivals biggest turnout to date.

Families will be in for a weekend of amazing attractions, a traditional fun fair and artisan foodie village, accompanied by a live concert every evening.

Max Eden from Hale Barns Events said: “This year’s Hale Barns Carnival was so incredible that we are already excited to get on with planning next years event.”

Talking about the reveal of their first headliner, legendary 70’s pop band The Bay City Rollers, he said: “I can’t wait for Les and the Bay City Rollers to take Hale Barns back to the 70s and bring the thrills and excitement of Rollermania to the village, this is our first headliner we can officially announce but we will have even more big names to announce in the coming months.”

Organisers have promised that the two day extravaganza will be ‘even better than 2019’ and are urging festival-lovers to support the carnival, which donates the money from ticket revenue to community projects, and take advantage of their early bird tickets available until September 1.

Day entry into the carnival is free from noon until 5pm, with tickets being sold for the evening concerts starting from 7.30pm.
