Thanks to the support of Ryde Rowing Club, New Carnival (NC) will be exhibiting some of the work of local young people created for the Tour of Britain.

The Tour was cancelled due to the death of the Queen so work produced will be shared for the public to see as a celebration for all the creativity leading to the event.

Hannah from the NC said:

"Children from Oakfield HAF project and our local schools have produced some outstanding work celebrating the Tour of Britain race and cycling.

"We really wanted them to have a chance to exhibit their costumes, artwork and flags to the public, they worked really hard and we are looking forward to showcasing their work."
