Tickets for the prestigious Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival concerts can be booked online from Wednesday 1 April 2015.
Available through the event’s official website tickets for the 2015 show, which commences on Monday 5 October and runs until Saturday 17 October, can be reserved by concert goers at the online shop for performances on Monday 5 October, Wednesday 7 October and between Tuesday 13 October and Saturday 17 October.
The concert tickets, sponsored by Somerset Car Sales, will cost £8.50 (except for rows J,M,P,Y & Z which will be £10.50) for the opening performance, and £11 (except for rows J,M,P,Y & Z which will be priced at £13) for all other performances. Restricted view seats will be £8.50 throughout the concert fortnight.
For those people who do not have easy access to a computer, concert tickets can also be ordered in advance by completing a simple form available from Wednesday 1 April at the carnival centre located in Bridgwater’s High Street. Advance tickets ordered by either method will receive the same priority. Tickets will be sent out by post only and will incur a small postal charge and whilst the night is guaranteed, individual seats cannot be reserved.
The popular concerts have been an annual feature in Bridgwater since 1883, and are seen as a curtain raiser to the eagerly anticipated procession on Saturday 7 November 2015. Over 3,500 tickets are available for the performances, where a cast of over 600 entertainers from 13 carnival clubs, dance troupes and front of curtain acts entertain an enthralled audience.
With the carnival procession just over 220 days away, preparations are also quickly gathering pace for the town’s biggest night of the year. Tickets for the all seater grandstands which line the carnival procession route will also be available to pre-order from Wednesday 1 April 2015. The 2,000+ tickets, kindly sponsored by EDF Energy (Hinkley Point B and C), cost £14 each and will be available from our online shop or from Mike Crocker on 01278 451415.
