Here you will find all the information you need about our carnival and the organising committee.

Each year Bridport Carnival is a highlight of the town’s calendar.

The fun packed extravaganza includes a grand procession held on the third Saturday of August each year. Last year’s procession was a record breaker with more entries than in recent memory.

Other activities include carnival darts, carnival golf, a grand car boot sale, carnival fete and a fun fair at Asker Meadows as well as the traditional Sunday evening torchlight parade from Bridport to West Bay.

This awesome spectacle involves 1,500 blazing torches being carried by families as they snake their way to the Bay for a celebration with live music and fireworks.

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who took part in 2008 and helped make the event such a success. We would also like to thank all the businesses who sponsor and back our events each year especially Fowler Trading Estates who were our main sponsor for 2008.

This year Bridport carnival is on Saturday August 15th and the fete and torchlight parade are on Sunday August 16th, 2009.

Our committee is already working hard behind the scenes to ensure this year will be another great success. Keep checking here for updates and the latest news and we look forward to seeing you again for another weekend of good family fun!
