Somerset’s
Mardi Gras! This free-to-view event regularly
attracts crowds in excess of 100,000 visitors.
Between the end of September and mid November,
the streets of many Somerset towns and villages
are an exciting blaze of colour as the Somerset
Illuminated Carnivals take place, and Bridgwater
is the original, and biggest of them all.
These processions of illuminated lorries
(called ‘floats’) are part of
an ancient tradition which stretches back
as far as the 1600’s when many parts
of Somerset commemorated the Gunpowder Plot.
The floats can be huge, over 50 feet long
and covered in hundreds of lightbulbs. Grand
fireworks displays and street entertainment
adds to the sense of fiesta and fun. |
