WELCOME TO THE FAMILY CARNIVAL

 

North Petherton Guy Fawkes Carnival, was formed in 1948, and joined the Somerset County Guy Fawkes Carnival Association in 1952,

and is regarded by many of our thousands of spectators, as the family carnival. This is due mainly to the fact that it held on a Saturday night,

which allows the youngsters to stay up a little later than normal. The other reason is that is runs straight through the town of

North Petherton, Somerset, with no awkward turns, causing unnecessary hold ups.

 

As with thousands of visitors converged into our small town emergencies will always happen and no amount of planning will not eliminate

this, please be patient as the emergency services will deal with theses as soon as possible, and allow the carnival to resume, if they need to

be on the route.

 

North Petherton Guy Fawkes Carnival, offers ample viewing throughout the whole route, which allows even the youngest and eldest of our

visitors, to watch this marvelous spectacle of light, sound and movement.

 

We do not charge for admission to one of the three, largest illuminated carnivals in the world, however a street collection will take place during

the carnival itself, by numerous collectors and collecting vehicles, proceeds of which, go towards the running of the carnival, prize money and 

finally the local  charities of which we support. We are always grateful for any amount we collect, however our collections have equated to only 30p a head. 

With over three hours of entertainment from the dedicated entrants and the cost for them to build these exquisite entries, we urge you to give at least 

£2 per head from your group of friends or family, and secure the future of North Petherton Carnival for future generations, to marvel over.

 

Please read the car parking and road closures sections, as these are very important for you to gain access.

 

Please note that the details on this website and our sponsors website SWWG  are correct. 

 

 Have a safe journey home and we hope to see you all again at our next carnival
