Full details about this year's Otley Carnival can now be found in the event's freshly printed programme.

The booklet, which lists the full schedule of attractions the town can expect on Saturday, June 21, is on sale at Otley Library and many local shops.

Proceeds, as always, will go to the carnival's beneficiaries – which this year are Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Otley Action for Older People, and Otley Children's Centre.

Local schoolchildren were asked to create designs for the programme's front cover, with their entries, split into different age groups, judged by Barbara Towers of Otley Arts Club and Judith Tomlinson.

The overall winner was Olivia Driver, a nine year old pupil at The Whartons Primary School, whose colourful 'big top' drawing is now set to be admired by thousands.

Olivia was also presented with a trophy, a book token and a T-shirt, donated by Colourfusion, bearing a copy of her design.

Smaller versions of all of the age-group winners' designs will also be included inside the programme.

The organisers are predicting one of the largest ever parades at this year's carnival, with Tour de France related float decorations and costumes set to dominate.

The procession through town down to the Bridge End show field will leave Wharfedale Farmers Auction Mart at 1.15pm.
