Additional Information
Get ready for an explosion of colour, light, music and dance when carnival season arrives! The Somerset Carnivals are highly regarded as the largest illuminated procession in the world.
The carnivals take place every November in Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea, Glastonbury, North Petherton, Shepton Mallet, Wells, and Weston-Super-Mare.
The Somerset County carnivals are one of the most spectacular events in the county. Bridgwater Carnival is one of the most widely recognised and it regularly attracts crowds of 150,000.
Why Bridgwater and not Glastonbury Carnival? You might be wondering why, if our park is so near Glastonbury Carnival, that we’re promoting Bridgwater Carnival? Well, they’re both amazing events in their own right, however, our campsite (Old Oaks) gets booked up several months in advance for Glastonbury and so in order to give more people the opportunity to experience one of Somerset’s oldest and more incredible nights, we’re running coaches from Old Oaks to Bridgwater this year.
Bridgwater is under 15 miles from Old Oaks, however with most routes into the town being closed off by 4.30pm or earlier, it’s important to get there early, if you want a parking space, as the town will be very busy. Or you could save yourself all the worry of heavy traffic and parking issues by jumping on our Bridgwater Carnival coach so that they can really enjoy the carnival atmosphere, and maybe indulge in a glass or two of the local tipple.
Our coaches leave at 3.15pm. Coaches return at approx 10.45 / 11pm.
