THE team behind one of the highlights of the Malmesbury calendar are appealing for volunteers.

Organisers of the Malmesbury Carnival need some selfless residents to help organise their famous procession.

Volunteers need only give up four hours of their time on Saturday, September 3, either advising motorists of road closures or managing the crowd.

They will be given an initial briefing at about 4pm and will be supported by more experienced stewards.

Anyone interested in helping out should email contact@malmesburycarnival.co.uk or ring Andy on 07748 410746.
