Last Saturday, volunteers from the Pelsall Carnival Association began preparing the site for when doors opened at midday, ready to host stalls, dog competitions, dance displays, gymnastic displays, a funfair, car boot sale and donkey rides, as well as the main spectacle – the procession.
The fun and games were all for a good cause, says chairman James Thomas. He has attended the carnival for 45 years, but this year marked his first one as chairman after being a committee member for four years.
The exact amount raised is not yet confirmed but it will be in the thousands, James says, which they will split between local charities.
