Newton Abbot's carnival next month has been cancelled
Organisers have warned 'it maybe the case that we will no longer hold a carnival procession as we know it'
Newton Abbot's Carnival has been cancelled for this year.
In a post online, organisers say it follows retirements in the organising committee.
They say they're looking at whether the event can return next year.
The post reads: "Following on from recent retirements from our carnival committee and other contributing circumstances we will not be holding a carnival procession in 2023 also we will not be doing a carnival float so therefore we will not be on the south Devon carnival circuit this year.
"We wish all who our taking part in the south Devon carnival circuit all the very best for 2023. It maybe the case that we will no longer hold a carnival procession as we know it in its previous existing format but obviously that’s something that can change depending on circumstances so never say never but honestly it’s doubtful.
"We our hoping to form a working party going forward in this transitional year for us where we hope to still hold some events from our usual carnival week itinerary but these dates & events our yet to be confirmed."
