Burnham-on-Sea Carnival 2022

On Monday 7th November 2022, Burnham-On-Sea held the second carnival of the Somerset Guy Fawkes Circuit. Sadly, the weather wasn’t kind for the night and it rained throughout the procession. Both Shambles CC and Lime Kiln CC returned for the procession and it was great to see them back on the road!

It’s a real shame the Highbridge and Burnham-On-Sea Carnival Committee came to a decision to decline the entry form of the North Somerset LGBT+ Forum. Carnival is an inclusive event for everyone to enjoy and it’s really sad to hear this charity were left out of the evening.

I was able to live stream and film videos for YouTube from Burnham. Apologies for a few blurry images, the weather was not nice to my camera!
