PEOPLE will line the streets once again for the carnival parade - with the parade route and road closures revealed.

Worcester Carnival is returning to the city for the first time since 2019 on Saturday, July 2.

The event has been cancelled in both 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic.

Returning with the theme of ‘celebration’, the carnival is benefitting from a grant from The National Lottery Community Fund.
