St Helens puts on a show. Chopping. Running. Cycling. Kids activities. Food. Beer.
Not the biggest Carnival. Not the smallest. Maybe the most relaxed!
IMAGE COURTESY OF THE EXAMINER
This is one Carnival that you might want to plan some time away for.
This is the last chance for athletes to take home some cash... and that makes for some desperate racing. You benefit. Be there!
Apart from this fun Carnival, there's so much to see and do in and around St Helens that you might want to stay for a few days.
This is a community Carnival. The whole community seems to get behind it.
