ROLL up, roll up – the circus looks set to arrive in town for Broadwater Carnival.
The show, featuring a circus theme this year, will take place from 10am to 4pm tomorrow (Saturday, July 19), on Broadwater Green.
People can expect to find lots of stalls, children's rides, games for everyone, go-karts, crazy golf and bungee trampolining.
Janet Williams, vice-chairman of the society committee, said: "We would like to thank everyone who has given their time, donated prizes and generally helped in the organisation of this event.
"Their efforts are donated free of charge and without them, this event would not take place.
"We hope everyone has an enjoyable day and look forward to raising a lot of money for our charities."

Kicking off the arena events will be local band Borrowed Time, a samba band workshop, a kung-fu demonstration, belly dancing with audience participation and performances from a new, young band called Element 201.
