BERE Alston Carnival last Saturday was an alien experience for many as this year’s theme was ‘Sci-Fi’. Some of the entries were completely off the planet and here our photographer James Bird has snapped new life on earth.

This week’s Times has three pages of pictures from the carnival taken by photographer James Bird. Photos from the carnival are available to purchase in a mount for £6 each. Call into the Times office on Brook Street to see the full list of photos on offer.
