The Fairy House Building Project will run again on Sunday 26 May (that's the May Bank Holiday Weekend) from 11am.

For this event we have a prize sponsor Bows R Us (UK) who will be designing and awarding TWO prize winners (boys and/or girls) with a bespoke made to measure costume.

Bows R Us (UK) specialises in the production of beautiful children's costumes and your child could walk away with one of the two main prizes simply by coming along and building a Fairy House in the Dell made from natural materials such as twigs, leaves, branches, pebbles etc.

Entry is FREE of charge and ALL children will receive a certificate on completion as well as free membership to the HDHC Junior Members Club.

Established in 1977, Norden Carnival takes place every June and raises money for charity and good causes in Norden and Rochdale. The theme for Norden Carnival this year is 'My Favourite Story'.

The procession leaves Caldershaw School at 1pm and goes up Edenfield Road through the village to the Bus Terminus and then returns turning down Shawfield Lane to finish at Norden School.

At the school, there's always a selection of food and refreshments, fairground attractions, bouncy castles, craft stalls and other entertainment and activities until 4.30pm.

If you know anyone who's interested in getting involved, from being in the procession, volunteering their time or having a stall at Norden School, please pass on our contact details. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter - @NordenCarnival
