MIDSOMER NORTON LIFE
CARNIVAL IS BACK Monday 14th November 2022!
A
fter 3 long years with no Illuminated Carnival due to COVID, Midsomer Norton & District Carnival Association are working hard to bring back the traditional spectacular Carnival
reaching Midsomer Norton town centre. The procession then travels up the High Street to the Stones' Cross and then along Radstock Road in the direction of Radstock towards Welton School.
This year, the Carnival is probably one of the most anticipated in a generation and once again, they’re planning for the spectacular illuminated entries and elaborately decorated walkers to descend on our town and provide the people of the whole district with the very brightest night of the year.
The procession will require the closure of several key roads beginning from 5:30 pm to allow for not only the procession and to keep spectators and participants safe, but also for the forming and dispersal of the large entries that attend the parade and therefore, some disruption to traffic should be expected around the area. However, Midsomer Norton & District Carnival will do their best to minimise this and further details can be found on the website and live traffic feed on their social media accounts during the event.
The route for the grand Illuminated parade is unchanged from the last event in 2019 with the start line located at the roundabout on the A367 adjacent to Charlton Lane. From here, the colours, lights and sound of the Carnival will spread along Charlton Road and down Silver Street before
Of course, Carnival not only lights up our town
