More than a hundred acts - including a giant skeleton - have put themselves forward to perform at this year's Cowley Road Carnival - Oxfordshire's biggest free public event (links below.)

Organisers, who are putting together a programme of musical, dance and theatrical performers to be involved in the event on Sunday, July 6, have been overwhelmed by the response.

The carnival, which will have a masquerade theme this year, attracts crowds of up to 25,000 and it is hoped a total of 2,000 people will take part in a colourful procession along Cowley Road.

As well as the parade, a whole host of activities will be held, with five stages planned.
