KIDDERMINSTER carnival organisers are celebrating after winning a Lottery grant.

The Awards For All programme, set up to help community projects, has given this year's event £3,445 towards the cost of the event.

The carnival is being held on Saturday, June 22, and will boast a variety of stalls and a street parade.

Since the event was first held 10 years ago, organisers have donated £30,000 to charity.

This year's charities are Wyre Forest Headway and the Friends Youth Club for autistic children.

The carnival is being held at Brinton Park and anyone wanting to book a stall should call 01562 751634.
