This year we had 2 coaches to Bridgwater! We gathered at BISC at 4.00pm to ‘hit the road’ down to Bridgwater. The journey was pleasant with interesting information being shared by the BISC Team. On the way, students were being entertained with quiz on Bridgwater Carnival and also given maps of the Carnival venue with useful information.
Although we arrived slightly later than expected due to the traffic i.e. at about 6.30pm….we had ample of free time to get dinner before the spectacular event started buzzing. Crowds of people gathered for the Carnival to start. A DJ entertained us before the carnival commencement. The weather was reasonably mild for us to be outside for this time of the year.
The extravaganza Carnival began at approximately 8.00pm….that mesmerized the crowd! As the carnival is also an annual charity event, people were joyfully throwing coins into the floats. The floats are spectacular and enormous, the atmosphere is fantastic! Everyone was enjoying the evening out, with their cameras handy – not to miss every opportunity for the photo album!
On the way back, more stories were then being shared on the history of Bridgwater Carnival by our very own experienced and knowledgeable story teller, Elvyn.
It was truly an unforgettable experience!
