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 |
