The dream of bringing a carnival back to Bury St Edmunds is becoming a reality.
There is now a date set for the event in 2020 - Saturday, June 13 - and organisers say sponsorship is going well.
Gary Lee, who has experience running Stowmarket Carnival, is behind the plans.

"It is looking like the procession is going to be a grand affair," he said.
There will be a fundraising stall at the Bury St Edmunds Christmas Fayre on Saturday, November 23, and Sunday, November 24, and a psychic night on the Saturday night.
The night with Paul Bannister is from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at Ashlar House in Bury St Edmunds. For tickets see here.
