TICKETS for this years Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival Concerts are set to go on sale from next month.

The concerts, which will be held at Bridgwater Town Hall between Monday, October 3 and Saturday, October 15, have been an annual feature in the town since 1883.

They are a series of shows that will lead up to the Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival procession on Saturday, November 5.

Tickets are set to go on sale from Tuesday, May 3.

Mike Crocker, Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival’s president, said: “Our carnival concerts are extremely popular and are renowned throughout the county, and it’s great to see them back again in 2022.

“I can’t wait for them to begin, and I’m really looking forward to seeing our carnivalites back on the stage and entertaining the public once again.”

More than 4,500 tickets are available for the performances, where a cast of over 600 entertainers from 13 carnival clubs, dance troupes and front of curtain acts entertain an enthralled audience.

The concert tickets have been sponsored by Somerset Car Sales.

Tickets cost between £11.50 and £16.

Anne Middleton, secretary and concerts coordinator for Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival, added: “The purpose of the front of curtain acts is to entertain the audience in between the performances by the 13 Bridgwater carnival clubs and the two dance troupes.

"We would love to hear from individuals and groups who enjoy performing on a stage in front of an audience, and who can entertain for a five minute slot at this year’s show."

Auditions for the front of curtain acts will take place at Bridgwater Town Hall on Tuesday, May 24.
