Gremlins Carnival Club took the top spot at Monday’s 2024 Burnham-On-Sea Carnival with this stunning entry.
The Bridgwater club’s dazzling cart, called ‘Beatlemania’, featured a mass of movement and colour, complete with iconic 1960s music.
The judges awarded it the top spot for ‘best entry in the entire procession’ and also the ‘best feature entry’.
Members of Burnham’s Hillview Carnival Club won ‘best local entry’ and the ‘Chairman’s Choice’ award for their impressive entry, ‘Country Kidz’, which was third in the keenly-contested ‘juvenile feature’ category.
