Carnival Day Entertainment

Forget the hills, it’s the streets of Bridgwater which will come alive with the sound of music on Carnival Day, which this year has been transformed into a Music and Dance Festival, featuring the talents of youth dance troupes, choirs and individuals, performing alongside more experienced artistes.

You will need to be in the town centre early to enjoy the full Bridgwater Carnival experience as the fun kicks off at 10.30am. Download our Carnival Companion App for full details of what’s on, where and when.

The entertainment in the centre continues in the afternoon too, where you will also find balloon sellers and face painting for the younger family members.

Put the date in your diary Saturday 7th November 2025 – Procession starts at 6pm.

The highlight of the day is the carnival procession which takes over 2 hours to pass any given point on the procession route through the town centre, this is followed by the squibbing display in the High Street to round off the carnival celebrations.

The full progamme for 2026 will be updated once confirmed.
