The sun eventually broke through the clouds for the Trimley carnival today – and the weather looks good for tomorrow as well.
The annual event has been run over two days for the first time this year and has plenty of entertainment for all ages.
Chairman of the carnival committee Sharon Iannuzzi said she was pleased with how the event was going.
“My new committee took over last year and had we not taken over the running of the carnival it would have folded last year,” she said.
“We were so pleased with how it went last year we thought we’d try two days.
“Last year we raised £2,500 and this year it would be nice to reach £3,000.”
The money raised helps fund the carnival and also goes to local good causes.
