Things to do at the Bridgwater carnival
Musical concerts are on at various locations around Bridgwater, with bands including Audio Vultures, Exmouth Shanty and the Essex Marching Band! Wander about the town to each stage – and look out for fun on-street entertainment as you go! The annual “Grand Squibbing Display” takes place at 10:45pm.
