Dove Holes residents have recently decided to revive the Dove Holes Village Carnival.
At a recent meeting, held at the Wheatsheaf pub, it was unanimously decided that Saturday August 23rd 2008 will be the date. Contact points are:
It is about 16 years since the last carnival was held in Dove Holes and its revival was one of the things, which was mentioned in the public consultation project, held a few years ago under the Village Plan.
The organisers are in contact with the Police, St John's Ambulance and other organisations. Most events, apart from the procession, will be held in fully licensed premises.
This is held annually, in aid of Buxton Mountain Rescue, and takes place at the Dove Holes Community Association.
This takes place at the Dove Holes Community Association, just off the A6 main road out of Buxton. For more details, visit www.dovejazz.co.uk (external website**) or call Roger on 01298 814722.
Dove Holes Brass Band will perform free in the Bandstand at Pavilion Gardens, on Sunday, July 20, from 2pm to 4pm, as part of the Band in the Park music programme.
Details will be here shortly.
