One of the themes for this year in the Caribbean Carnival is Ruby – as it is the 40th – and organisers are setting up a new troupe which will explore this theme in costume and performance.

Leroy Allen, media co-ordinator for Preston Carribean Carnival, said: “Come and share your ideas, thoughts and feelings about the carnival with us and find out about the different ways you could get involved.”
