THE annual Island Park Party returns to Hatherleigh on Saturday September 3, with live music from the Cornish Wurzells.

The group, which recently appeared on the ITV1 programme 'Odd One In', and will be performing throughout the evening, which is free to attend.

As well as live music, there will be amusements and games, a ram roast and hog roast, barbecue, duck races, and a bar.

Party goers are encouraged to take part in this year's farm fancy dress theme.

The 2011 Hatherleigh Carnival royalty will also be officially announced by the carnival president, Syd Newcombe.

The party is the biggest fundraiser for the carnival, which takes place on November 12.

Each year the carnival committee needs to raise around £6,000 to run the event, and they are hoping as many people as possible can come and support it.

The party takes place in Island Park, opposite Hatherleigh Fire Station, from 6pm.

Everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy a night of music and fun.
