Highbridge and Burnham Carnival
Welcome to Highbridge and Burnham on Sea Carnival’s Website
Highbridge and Burnham Carnival Traffic Management
This year we are not planning any major changes to the route, however there are as normal some tweaks to our road closures and parking restrictions. Please take a look at this site in advance of the events to see how these closures may affect you.
Although Carnival is free at the point of entertainment, it is certainly not a free event to hold. Insurance, licensing, overheads and essential equipment cost thousands every year, not to mention prize money and a donation to every entry in the procession for taking part. Also the amount we donate to our charities/local groups is offered on a percentage basis of what they collect, so the more you give, the more they receive.
We’d love if everyone could dig deep and help make 2025 a record year.
