Santa will lead procession on Saturday (December 11).

ENTHUSIASTIC carnivalites from across East Devon and beyond will be letting their hair down in Honiton on Saturday (December 11) during the town’s annual Christmas carnival.

The just for fun event, which will be led by Santa, will leave Ottery Moor Lane at 5.30pm.

There is no judging involved - entries will take part purely to entertain and promote the Christmas spirit.

Afterwards, participants will get the chance to warm up at a supper disco organised by Honiton and District Carnival Limited.

The carnival will take place a day after the results of this year’s East Devon Carnival Circuit are announced. Ottery St Mary is hosting the presentation night on Friday.
