Jane Evans, Mold Town Council's events and community engagement officer, said: "Mold Carnival is always a brilliant day out for all ages. This year, we wanted to bring something a bit different, and nostalgic, to the event to get the community involved.
"I loved watching It's A Knockout growing up - it looked so much fun. So we're inviting teams to enter the competition, all teams can also join in the carnival parade pre game; wear fancy dress or your logo'ed T-shirts and make some noise as the parade makes it's way through the town onto the carnival fields, really make a day of it.
