A colourful procession made its way around the village on Saturday, with the carnival princess Sophie, carnival prince Oliver and their attendants Libby and Paige, leading the walkers and floats.
Hundreds of people lined the Trundle, Feoffes Road, High Street and Parkhall Road to watch the procession pass.
The 'Best Group of Walkers' was awarded to the rainbows and brownies. The 'Best School Float' was won by Parkhall Playgroup with its effort entitled: 'When I grow up I want to be'.
The 'Best Club Float' was won by the carnival court and the 'Best Stall' was won by the Royal British Legion.
