THE Kington Festival is proud to announce the carnival royal family who will assist with duties throughout the festival. The king Osgar Herbert and queen Rebekah Kinsey both attend Lady Hawkins School. Names were drawn out of the hat at Kington Primary School assembly for the prince and princesses and the successful winners are Charlotte Nicholls, Leuan Morgan and Bethany Price. Kington Festival runs from Friday, June 12, until Sunday, June 21, and the royal family will be part of the carnival parade on Saturday, June 20, and will help with various prize-giving events over the festival period.

Don’t forget the 2009 Festival programmes are available now in Kington Shops, with full details of all the festival activities and events, so be sure to get your copy.
