A road in Petts Wood is set to close all weekend for a Christmas carnival.

Petts Wood Road, from its junction with Woodland Way to the car park, will be shut to through traffic for the event.

The closure is set to begin at 6.30pm today (November 29), and will be in place until 10pm on Saturday, November 30.
