ORGANISERS of the Hatherleigh Carnival are on the hunt for the next carnival queen.

The queen must live in the Hatherleigh, Meeth or Highampton area to be eligible. They need to be aged 12 or above by the day of the carnival, which will be held this year on November 11.

A carnival organiser said that any applicant would be expected to sell Carnival Queen draw tickets.

The carnival committee would also give the queen a grant towards the cost of her float and any help required.
