ACCRINGTON carnival procession will set off on its new route from the Globe Centre at 10.45am on Saturday June 16.

It will then travel down Eagle Street, right on to Blackburn Road, passed the Town Hall and the bus station.

Then, instead of turning right on to Eastgate it will go left on to Abbey Street, past the post office, across the junction on to Whalley Road, past Accrington Victoria Hospital then right into Queens Road, and left into Thorneyholme Road where the procession will disperse.

Events begin on the playing fields between 10.30 and 11am.
