RE: Bridgwater Carnival 2018

in #travel6 years ago

Hi @janton Bridgwater is in the county of Somerset which is in the south west of the UK. The carnival floats consists of a fully dressed tractor which pulls the main float which could be an old 45ft trailer and then connected to that is the generator trailer which is fully dressed. Some floats have as many as 30 plus people dancing or in tableau. Total length of some of the big floats can be up to 100ft long. It take all year to raise the money and to build the floats. My video has covered all of the floats and most of the walkers. After the carnival all of the clubs get together and then we have the Squibbing where many members each hold a squib attached to a pole raised up in the air lining up the high street on both sides of the road. I’ll find a good video for you of the squibbing and I’ll post on my blog. Possession starts at 19:00 and lasts for about 3hrs but this year there were a few brake downs at the start.
