Over Carnival

The days are growing longer, which always puts me in a good mood. This year, like a few before it, I'll be going to the Over Carnival, which is held on the 17th of July this year. An unusual name, Over is a small village in Cambridgeshire, with a unique history and community spirit. The Over Carnival is over 20 years old and attracts over 4,000 people!

The village name is rather special. When the police helicopter flies over the village, I always imagine the radio chatter to be "Police kilo yankee, what is your position, over?" and they reply "Over Over, over!".

To be fair, that isn't proper radio etiquette, but I like the joke.

The Over Carnival this year has it's own theme. Find out more at the Over Carnival website.
