Tickets for the prestigious Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival concerts can be booked online from Tuesday 1 April 2014.
Available through the event’s official website online shop tickets for the 2014 show, which commences on Monday 29 September and runs until Saturday 11 October, can be reserved by concert goers for performances on Monday 29 September, Wednesday 1 October and between Tuesday 7 October and Saturday 11 October.
The concert tickets, sponsored by Somerset Car Sales, will cost £8.50 (except for rows J,M,P,Y & Z which will be £9.50) for the opening performance, and £11 (except for rows J,M,P,Y & Z which will be priced at £12) 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 Tuesday 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 1 November 2014. 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 200 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 Tuesday 1 April 2014. The 1,800 tickets, kindly sponsored by EDF Energy (Hinkley Point B and C), cost £14 each and will be available at our online shop, or from Mike Crocker on 01278 451415.
