Weston Weekend with Bridgwater Carnival
A fabulous weekend to one of the UK’s most popular seaside resorts and to experience one of the world’s largest illuminated carnivals!
The history of the Bridgwater carnival dates back to the 1605 gunpowder plot when Guy Fawkes failed to blow up the Houses of Parliament. The town takes its carnival very seriously and it is reputed to be the largest illuminated carnival in the entire world, raising thousands of pounds for charity each year. Some of the floats in the two hour procession can be nearly 18 feet high, 11 feet wide and 100 feet long and are illuminated by up to 30,000 light bulbs. A truly magnificent spectacle!
The Bridgwater Carnival is always an extraordinary experience and we have combined it with some wonderful weekend fun at the Royal Grosvenor Hotel in Weston super Mare. We’ll even take you back via the historic city of Bath. Now that sounds like a huge amount of fun for just one weekend. Why not join us?
An ideal choice for:
* People who are looking for a great value weekend break
* Anyone who loves fireworks and parades
