ASTON CARNIVAL 2024

The Carnival will be held on Saturday 3rd August 2024 at Lodge Lane Playing Fields at 12 noon.    Our History Group gazebo will be on the field and we will have our albums and display board photographs for visitors to view.   Our history books will be on sale and it will be a good time to buy some birthday or early Christmas presents.   Please come and visit our stand.    If you have any photographs or stories to tell we would love to see you.

We had a successful day at the Carnival with a lot of interest in our displays, maps and albums of local photographs.     We will again be taking part in the Aston Carnival Christmas Market on Saturday 30th November in Aston Parish Hall on Rosegarth Avenue, Aston.     Our albums of local photographs will be available for you to browse and our local history books will be on sale.   Priced at £5 each they make ideal Christmas presents.
