Mold Carnival 2025: Huge crowds attend town's flagship event
Festivities then continued at Kendricks Field and 'The Rec', with performances from dancing troupes and the Cambria Band, who had also lead the parade.
Other activities, competitions, and independent craft and food and drink stalls gave eventgoers much to try out and taste.
The event, which is organised by Mold Town Council and other volunteers, hosted the 'It's a Knockout' challenge, with businesses, clubs and pubs getting involved.
The 'It's a Knockout' event saw teams take on inflatable obstacles, foam, and water - all while wearing silly costumes - to compete for the title of Mold Carnival Knockout Champions 2025.
The FA Wales and McDonald's Football Festival also took place, close to a huge funfair with rides for all ages, including a daunting pendulum and the ever-popular Ferris Wheel.

A 'quiet hour' was held between 10-11am on the day to support children with additional learning needs.
There was live music from several performers, including David Murray and The New Kid, Brody Xander, Rock Choir, and Urban Fusion.
Mayor of Mold, Councillor Paul Beacher, said there was "something for everyone" in an event which "brings the town together".
"Mold Carnival is basically the biggest one in Flintshire, I like to think," Mayor Beacher told Leader Live.
"Eight people put in on, they work from January right through.
"Two fun-packed fields again - it's a big event and a free event which brings the town together - that's the main thing.
"People come and enjoy themselves, bring their children, there's something for everyone.
"I'm glad I'm part of it, and that it's part of the town. The day's gone well."

Horror guaranteed to 'traumatise' fans confirms season 2 before first is out
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A TV horror series that has been guaranteed to 'traumatise' fans has confirmed a second season before the first has even come out. Following the release of It: Welcome To Derry's trailer earlier this year, viewers had already declared it 'the best day of 2025'. Adapted from Stephen King's 1986 novel of the same name, the prequel is set 27 years before the events of the It films take place. With Bill Skarsgard reprising his role as Pennywise, an evil entity who preys upon the children of Derry, Maine, fans can expect to see the character use his terrifying variety of powers, including shapeshifting. The series will also star the likes of Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, Taylour Paige, James Remar and Stephen Rider. But, after the screenwriter and director for the It film franchise and upcoming series, Andy Muschietti, told Radio TU that HBO 'is eager to continue the series, wanting to start production on the second season as soon as possible', fans appear to be even happier. Taking to X, @VasBroughtToX said: I can't wait to see this one.' @B1gDaddyMarv added: 'I love it when this happens. You can go into season one knowing the story is going to keep going.' @BlazeRN617 also wrote: 'Made the most money ever for any horror franchise… surprised took this long.' @Hat3Asylum similarly claimed: 'HBO must be pretty confident in the show to renew it before anyone's even seen it. That's either impressive or terrifying.' However, some fans were not as enthusiastic with the news of a renewal. @realsonofgod23 shared: 'This has to be the most, 'was the this really necessary' TV show ever made.' @infinite_rik echoed this sentiment by saying: 'Why? We already know how it ended, why do we need to see this?' It: Welcome To Derry is due to premiere this autumn on HBO and HBO Max in the US. Muschietti also revealed that there could potentially be three seasons of the show, with the first taking place in 1962, the second in 1935 and a third in 1908, according to Daniel Richtman. While no UK release has been given, it is likely to air on Sky and Now like Succession and The Last Of Us. But if you feel as though you can't wait until then to get your fix of horror TV, fear not! More Trending Last week it was revealed that a 'murderous' horror Netflix series has soared up the chart days before the release of its second season. Wednesday's first eight episode season rejoined the streamer's top 10 ranking of TV shows as fans likely squeezed in a rewatch to see how the last season was wrapped up. The show, which stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, became a global juggernaut when it was first released in 2022.

The Best See Through Beauty Bags To Shop Now
Packing can be an arduous process. The mere thought of 'getting ahead' of it all can be overwhelming. I should know - I've been there. Nowadays, however? I take pride in packing. Not because I'm particularly good at it, but because I have the right tools. At the top of the list, right next to fashionable yet functional packing cubes and my Antler cabin bag, is a quartet of see-it-all beauty bags. With summer holidays a go, it's likely that one in particular has been flooding your For You Page on TikTok. Space NK's transparent travel bags have long been at the centre of every It-girl's #packwithme video, but a flurry of clear case beauty organisers have joined the ranks to ease our packing woes. At the start of summer, Boots entered the aesthetic beauty bag fold with its Transparent Bags in Black, £15, and Pink, £20. Large enough to house your 200ml products, the medium-size bags make light work of getting your make-up into gear. Beauty Pie has just given clear cases a new meaning, with its all new small, medium and large make-up bags available in see-through summer shades of fresh green, zesty yellow and juicy orange, from £14. While there is certainly a flurry of see-it-all beauty bags on the market, I will always revert to my trusty Space NK transparent travel bags. They range in various sizes, from mini to medium and large, which all come in a kaleidoscope of colours, making for easy categorising. There's even a Double Travel Bag, £46, for stacking packing which is handy for those who like to keep everything in one place. As for me, I'm a chronic over packer, but the method to my madness lies in the form of four colour coded Space NK Large Travel Bags, £36 each, which I categorise into make-up, skincare, body care and haircare edits. While a long haul flight hates to see me coming, I've found that this system of packing (while certainly a little excessive) helps to keep me and all my things in check, leaving little room for overthinking and stressing. That's a win in my book. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, using the Space NK Travel Bags 1. Boots Pink Transparent Bag Price: £20 This newly launched medium-sized beauty bag from Boots measures 18cm (depth) x 26.5cm (width) x 10cm (height). Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says, 'Boots isn't new to transparent beauty bags, in fact the first one I ever tried was the Boots Clear Cosmetic Bag, £5, but the high street beauty giant's new take on clear cosmetic bags is far more robust, durable and high-quality, from its thick trimming to the gold zip.' Pros Cheaper price point Effective for medium-size beauty products Cons Only two colours available 2. Space NK Large Travel Bag Space NK's Travel Bags are bestselling for good reason. The large size is perfect for housing all of your favourite full-size products in one place and is perfect for longer trips. The transparent panels make it easy to see what is inside and are fully wipeable. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I am wedded to my Space NK Large Travel Bags, I have four on-the-go when I'm on my travels and love categorising each into separate make-up, skincare, haircare and body care edits to keep my organised. I've used them for three years on the trot and they never fail me.' Pros Large size bag Multiple colour ways Cons High price point than others 3. VIEVE The Essential+ Makeup Bag Price: £25 The Essential+ Makeup Bag boasts a faux crocodile, patent black trimmings (with the signature gold VIEVE badge) along side a top clear panel to keeps your beauty bits organised while looking chic. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'It's obvious that this case was cooked up by a pro make-up artist, like Jamie Genevieve. While stylish in every way from the croc trimming to the satin lining, it is also highly functional and makes for the perfect make-up organiser.' Pros Stylish finish Faux croc trimming Cons 4. Large Makeup Bag in Juicy Orange Beauty Pie's newest travel essential comes byway of three new make-up bags which come in tinted finish and three different summer-friendly colour ways that include yellow, green and orange. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'If you fancy something more exciting than a clear case, look to Beauty Pie's summer coded take on things. While still totally transparent, the three cases available boast a tinted finish aesthetic yet easy product finding.' Pros Eye catching Tinted yet still transparent Cons Only one colour available per size 5. M&S Collection 3 Piece Clear Makeup Bag Set With three different sizes available in one set, this M&S kit really gives you more bang for your buck. Each bag can fulfil a different function for your beauty routine, all while being easy on the eye thanks to the black and cream trims and quality zip. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'This is a seriously clever investment. You'll receive 3 bags for the price of one and a shape that takes a departure from most other clear cosmetic bags which are often square and boxy.' Pros Affordable Three bags in one set Cons Shape of bag may mean you can't pack to the brim Sameeha Shaikh is Grazia's beauty writer, covering all categories to bring you insights on the latest trends, industry news and the products you need to know about, viral or not (most probably viral).

Your Favourite Crocs Just Got A Fashion Upgrade
Fashion collaborations are now longer a novelty, they're standard practice: high-street-cum-designer collection are practically de rigueur - remember theMugler x H&M madness in 2023? Other icons include Uniqlo x Marni and Adidas x Gucci, all proving there's huge appeal in owning something designer without the heart-stopping price tag. And right now? We're lusting after another joining of fashion forces: enter Jean Paul Gaultier x Crocs. ©Jean Paul Gaultier x Crocs The Croc, long considered fashion's most controversial shoe, has fully stepped into its It-girl era thanks to bold partnerships with Christopher Kane and Simone Rocha (think: pearls galore) and Swarovski's crystal-encrusted pairs. But this? This is something else. JPG, known for his unapologetic prints, punk touches (and elevating new-gen designers) has teamed up with Crocs for a drop no one saw coming. Unexpectedly, the collab clogs are anything but basic. Think leather overlays, safety pin details, and bandana-inspired prints painted directly onto the shoe. Even the signature Crocs holes normally reserved for Jibbitz charms have been transformed with Gaultier's flair. ©Jean Paul Gaultier x Crocs So, who's this drop for? Style maximalists, streetwear lovers, and anyone who wants to make a statement without saying a word. We can already see them on Julia Fox, Doja Cat, or Doechii - the celebs who make rule-breaking fashion look like second nature. Following Crocs' buzzy team-ups with luxury names, this launch is set to land sometime in August (date still under wraps). But take our word for it: they will sell out fast.

With a penchant for wispy lashes and streetwear, she writes about the worlds of fashion and beauty from the viewpoint of the modern fashion girlie.. Main image credit: Jean Paul Gaultier x Crocs
