The Carnival Pogramme is an excellent souvenir – it provides lots of information about the event, including a comprehensive list of all of the procession’s entries, photographs of some carts, information on the Carnival Queen and Princesses, a short history of the Carnival and much more!
The Highbridge & Burnham-On-Sea Carnival Programme can be purchased from October in local shops, pubs, the tourist information centre and other outlets in Burnham-On-Sea. It can also be bought in November on the night of the Burnham-On-Sea Fireworks display and the night of the Carnival itself.
. 2018 CARNIVAL DVD TO BUY
The Highbridge & Burnham-On-Sea Carnival Procession is a unique experience that is difficult to appreciate in one evening. There’s so much going on that it is easy to miss something, so why not treat yourself to an official DVD of the evening. The DVDs also make great gifts.
The procession will be recorded as usual by Moving Art, with broadcast quality equipment, and will be available just days after the Carnival is over. The DVDs are multi-regional, are compatible with Blu-Ray, and carry a no-quibble guarantee. The price is £16 plus £2 P&P. For postal orders, please contact Phil New on 01278 780219 and make all cheques payable to Highbridge & Burnham-On-Sea Carnival Ltd. They are also available from selected local shops.
