Gremlins Carnival Club took the top spot at Monday’s 2019 Burnham-On-Sea Carnival with this stunning entry.
The Bridgwater club’s incredible cart, called ‘Curse of the Kraken’, featured a mass of movement and colour, complete with the atmospheric music and bursts of flames.
The judges awarded it the top spot for ‘best entry in the entire procession’ and also the ‘best feature’.
Burnham-based Hillview Carnival Club’s Caribbean-themed entry, ‘Iko Iko’, pictured below, won the awards for ‘best local entry’ and ‘Chairman’s local choice’ and it came second in the ‘juvenile feature’ category behind Marina Sydenham.
Talking to Burnham-On-Sea.com, Carnival Chairman Phil New said: “It was a great carnival – there were some really good entries this year. The Gremlins cart really caught my eye and was a deserved winner overall.”
