A DALES village will come to life at the weekend with a carnival and flower festival.
Fiona Nelson will be crowned carnival queen before she leads the festivities, which include a fancy dress and sports competitions, at Bowes, near Barnard Castle.
Her attendants will be Andrew Lawton, Tim Greaves, Sarah Waddington, Sophie Metcalf, Anneliese Baxter, Anisha Harris, Grace Howard, Ryan Robinson and Kieran Harris.
The procession starts at 2pm on Saturday. There will also be a suitcase circus, band, stalls, barbecue and family disco. The sports will start at 2pm on Sunday.
The flower festival, which has a theme of the life and stories of Moses, will be open in St Giles Parish Church from 11am to 6pm, on Saturday, and from noon to 4pm, on Sunday.
It will be followed by a gospel choir concert at 6.30pm, on Sunday.
The carnival team is holding a music quiz in the Ancient Unicorn tonight, and there will be a show by the Flying Emperors in the village hall on Friday night.
Carnival secretary Rosie Bettison said: "It will be a wonderful weekend, with something to delight all ages."
