There will be up to 100 stalls for people to browse, packed with an array of food and drink as well as displays from local charities and businesses set up on Three Kings Piece in Commonside West, Mitcham, between noon and 5pm Saturday, June 11.
Main stage entertainment will run throughout the afternoon, and there will be plenty of activities to keep children and adults alike occupied.
Sports Blast, an initiative that looks to promote healthy living for young people in the borough, will be offering children the chance to play football, netball, BMX and other sports throughout the day, a dog show, run by Carnival’s sponsors ‘The Vet’ in Morden and the Bubble Football tournament for players aged 14 will also take place.
