The demand to watch this year’s Bridgwater Guy Fawkes carnival concerts seem stronger than ever, as tickets went on sale at 9am today (Wednesday 1 May).
Members of the public started queuing at the Carnival Centre in the High Street from 7am, and a constant stream of people followed throughout the morning, all eager to get their hands on the highly sought after tickets. Over 1,500 tickets, including those sold online, were snapped up within the first 12 hours of the tickets going on sale, and two performances have already more or less sold out.
This year’s concerts take place between Monday 30 September and Saturday 12 October at Bridgwater Town Hall. Just under 3,500 tickets are available in total for the 12 performances, where a cast of over 600 entertainers from 12 carnival clubs, 2 dance troupes and 12 front of curtain acts entertain enthralled audiences.
Ticket prices range between £15 and £19.50, and remaining tickets can be purchased at the Carnival Centre, High Street, Bridgwater, and online at https://www.bridgwatercarnival.org.uk/carnival-concert-tickets/. FCS International Shipping Limited, a Bridgwater based global shipping company, is the
latest company to become an official partner of Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival, and has been confirmed as the main event sponsor for the 2024 Concerts.
Lewis White, Managing Director, said: “We are proud to be sponsoring the 2024 Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival Concerts. Being a Bridgwater based company, we understand the importance and recognise the prominent role the carnival plays in the town and the local community, and we are absolutely delighted to be this year’s main concert sponsor”.
Dave Stokes, Publicity Director for Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival, said: “On behalf of everybody involved with our carnival, I would like to take this opportunity to thank FCS International Shipping Limited for becoming an official sponsor and for their generosity.
“As with all other events, we are faced with ever-increasing costs, and if it wasn’t for the support we receive from the local authorities and business sector, our carnival would not be as successful or popular as it is.”
