A HAMPSHIRE village is set to be gripped by carnival fever today.

The annual Netley Marsh Carnival will take place this afternoon, when villagers will celebrate the world of cinema.

Floats will set off from The Gamekeeper pub in Woodlands at 1.30pm and make its way along Woodlands Road to St Matthew's Church.

Starting at 2pm the church field will host a summer fair featuring Fair Oak Dog Display Team and music from the Big Noise Community Samba Band.
