Residents are being encouraged to decorate their gardens and windows this June to keep the spirit of the Kenilworth Carnival parade alive.

Whilst the carnival is set to go ahead on June 26-27, the procession will not happen for the second year in a row due to the complications of social distancing.

However, in its place the carnival organisers are encouraging residents, businesses and community groups to decorate the front of their homes and premises with colour and creativity to create a 'Carnival Trail' for the town

Organisers will also publish a list of those taking part closer to the weekend for other residents to follow. Decorations will need to be in place from the morning of Saturday, June 26.

A Carnival Cup will then be given to the winners in each of the following categories:

- Individual houses/flats

- Community spaces (e.g. churches/day centres etc)
