CARNIVAL fever is set to grip a Hampshire town tomorrow.

Hundreds of people are expected to line the streets for the Romsey Carnival on Sunday.

The event, which carnival boss bosses expect to have a huge turnout, will include some key changes this year.

They include the introduction of a ‘senior carnival queen’ to sit alongside the traditional queen for the first time in 23 years.

Another new event brought in this year is ‘Romsey’s Got Talent’.Which will be held at Mountbatten School’s Lantern Theatre on Saturday from 6pm to 9pm.

The procession will start at 3pm and the parade starts from the Romsey Industrial Estate.

It will then go down Dutton’s Road then Station Road and make its way into the town centre.

This year’s carnival queen is Naomi Reading and senior queen is Lizzie Dutfield, senior attendant is Bethany Marchant and juniors are Caitlyn Little and Mia Marchant.

The charities which will benefit from the carnival this year are Romsey Family Support Group and Romsey Air Cadets.

The other charities to receive funds are Cupernham Nurture Group, Romsey Opportunity Group, Romsey Red Cross, Mountbatten Music Academy and the Allsorts Club.
