On Saturday 5 July Battlefield South will be at the Hedge End Summer Carnival. The carnival procession starts at 14:15 hours (2.15 pm) from St John’s Road, but the stalls at Greta Park Upper Northam Road, will be open much earlier. There is live music, lots of stalls, Bouncy castles, and alike and fireworks at the end of the day. Entry is £1 for adults and 50p for children.
