Auditions

Carnival Concert auditions will be held on Tuesday 19th May 2026.

Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival Committee is calling on local performers to take to the stage as auditions open for the 2026 Bridgwater Carnival Concerts.

A long standing and popular part of Bridgwater’s carnival celebrations, the concerts will take place this year at The McMillan Theatre, Bridgwater, providing a new stage (for one year only) for one of the town’s most loved entertainment traditions.

Auditions will be held at The McMillan Theatre on Tuesday 19 May 2026 at 7pm, with organisers encouraging performers from across the area to come forward and take part.

The concerts showcase a wide range of local talent and the committee is looking for performers in a variety of categories including singers, dancers, comedians, musicians, variety acts and entertainers.

The Bridgwater Carnival Concerts 2026 will run from Sunday 4 October to Thursday 15 October 2026 at The McMillan Theatre, forming an important part of the town’s carnival season and providing audiences with a varied programme of live entertainment.

Anyone wishing to audition can contact Anne Middleton at enquiries@bridgwatercarnival.org.uk
