THIS annual event attracts thousands of visitors each year and takes place in a matter of months. Now, the council has announced the road closures and how public transport will be affected.
Blackwood High Street is set to be "transformed into an urban beach party with plentiful sand, deckchairs and buckets and spades to keep the whole family entertained."
Funfair rides, attractions, full entertainment programme including local singers, bands and acts, and stalls with food and drinks will be available throughout the day.
