Event co-ordinator Lowri Sadler said: “We're thrilled to host this carnival in the heart of Oswestry town and the picturesque Cae Glas Park.“Admission is free, but we encourage attendees to consider a voluntary £2 donation to support the vital work of Nightingale House Hospice.“It costs nearly £5 million per year to run the hospice and its services. And we could not do what we do without your support. Don't miss out on this unforgettable weekend of festivities for all ages.
