Somerset Carnivals are the highlight of the year around here and Bridgwater is definitely the home of carnival in this county. The processions of illuminated carts part of an ancient tradition, which stretches back as far as the 1600's when many parts of Somerset commemorated the Gunpowder plot. Grand firework displays and street entertainment adds to the sense of fiesta and fun.
