Weston-super-Mare Carnival to Take to the Streets

THE STREETS of Weston-super-Mare will be illuminated next week when the annual carnival rolls into town.

This year, the carnival will return on Monday November 14, to its original route, following the completion of the seafront enhancement scheme.

Despite the current economic climate, carnival clubs, and their members, have used their talent, expertise and passion to produce a magnificent parade of light, colour, movement and sound during the evening.

Spectators are asked to reward the efforts of the clubs and numerous volunteers and give generously to charity. The more raised - the more charitable organisations will benefit.

The procession will begin at 7.15pm from Locking Road car park; it will then pass through Alexandra Parade (both ways) into Alfred Street, along the Boulevard, Waterloo Street and South Parade, along the seafront before ending in Carlton Street.

Road closures will be put in place at 6pm prompt in order to secure and clear the route.

Town centre car parks, with the exception of Locking Road, will be available and parking will also be provided on the Beach Lawns from 4pm.

Please note that the carnival route will need to be cleared of all vehicles by 5.30pm.

Any vehicles obstructing the procession route after this time may have to be removed.
