Just thought i would mention this as i havent seen any photos of it on here.

This Friday is a huge night time carnival in Bridgwater in Somerset.
It is the the largest illuminated carnival In Europe and is visible from space :eek:

for more info see http://www.bridgwatercarnival.org.uk/

its not the best website in the world but if you're interested just do a google image search for 'bridgwater carnival'

i will be there and hope to get some good shots.
i will also be about during the day s all the floats/carnival carts line up hours before hand ready for the procession.

the evening ends with 'squibbing' which really cant be described! so i have linked to a video (not mine) Also well worth a google image search

if you have never been before, its well worth a look :thumbs:
 
Also if you can't make the Friday, there is the same Carnival on at North Petherton on Saturday night.

That's my old stomping ground - Look forward to seeing your pics. Remember countless years of cold and rain when I was a kid!!
 
oh yes i forgot to mention that! you do find there are the odd club that drops out due to technical probs though.
and yes wet weather gear is a must! :D
 
Yes it does and there are many other towns on the circuit, its just that the Bridgwater one is the largest and has the squibbing :D
 
You can normally get a better view at North Petherton than at Bridgwater, but Bridgwater is the biggest.

Yet another Smelly Town exile.
 
:razz: Harsh! the smell you refer to was produced by the cellofane factory which closed down years ago!

Bridgwater is the biggest, it is the best... end of :lol:
 
It starts in 40 mins so i better get my skates on :thumbs:
