About the Carnival Concerts
The 2012 Carnival Concert will commence on Monday 1st October and run until Saturday 13th October, our ticket prices have had a small increase this year due to rising costs, the first for two years. Tickets for 2012 will be £11 per seat with the first night show at a reduced price of £7.50.
The Concerts start at 7pm on weekday nights and 6pm at weekends, the show lasts approximately 4 hours.
The Carnival Concerts act as a great warm up for the clubs for their dance routines and choreography before the main Carnival event and runs for 12 nights. The Concert is itself a great spectacle, each night always sells out and has a prestigious local following.
Between each act from the 13 carnival clubs and 2 dance troupes that participate "front of curtain" acts fill the time with music, singing and magic tricks to entertain the audience.
Tickets for the show can be pre-booked from April 18th at our online Shop. A seating plan can be found by clicking on the following link Concert Seating Plan.
If you wish to avoid the queues you can always become a patron of our carnival and order your priority tickets in advance, see the Patrons page for further details.

All funds raised through the Concert will go toward the furtherance of Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival.
