2008 Information | Grandstands
Details
Grandstands seats for the 2008 procession will go on sale for postal and telephone orders from mid-June, however if you wish to get ahead of the crowd you can prebook online from 1st May, see below.
Seats this year are on sale at a cost of £13 per seat.
Unfortunately our suppliers have again raised the charge to us so there has been a small increase on 2007. The grandstand seats continue to increase in popularity and are mosttly sold by early October.
We will be having 10 grandstands again this year. Seats in the stand are numbered, so seats will be reserved, in addition they have some cover so in case of inclement weather (almost unheard of on the night of Bridgwater Carnival).
The Carnival will commence at 7.00 p.m. Main roads into the town will be closed to traffic from 6.30 p.m., with road closures coming into effect from 5.30 p.m. to allow for grandstands to be positioned prior to the procession, so if you are coming please leave early to avoid disappointment.
The grandstands for 2008 will be as 2007, located at, Broadway East (8) and Broadway West (2). See the map on the location page for more details of the two sites.
If you are purchasing stand tickets please do not arrive at the stand before 6.30 pm as the stands need to be erected and this is very difficult to achieve with people milling around, your co-operation is appreciated.
