The Wizards & Witches Wheelbarrow Race - (UPDATE: Unfortunately this event has been cancelled due to a shortage of confirmed entries.)
Starting at 10.30am when teams of Wizards and Witches in fancy dress will race their wheelbarrows from the start line on Chorley Hall Lane up to London Road to finish in the centre of the village.
The fun will start at 10am when the wheelbarrows will assemble at the Chorley Hall Lane Playing Fields for the judging of their fancy dress.
To enter you'll need a wheelbarrow which is in good condition, a driver to push it, who is reasonably fit and a passenger who is age 6 or above.
The route is about 400 metres long.
You will need costumes - one wizard and now witch - and feel free to decorate your wheelbarrow as well.
Awards for the first team over the line and the most admired team (either for their fancy dress, their sense of style, entertainment value or sportsmanship) will be presented in the park at The Wizard's Arena at 12 noon.
The Parade
