Shanklin's main carnival returns this evening (Wednesday, August 7) after last year's event was cancelled due to poor weather.

The Island town promises an evening of excitement and enjoyment for the whole family, with loads of floats, dancers and music.

Underway at 7pm from Popham Road, near Big Mead Park, there is no judging, as this carnival is non-competitive.
