There are plenty of opportunities to join in this year’s 40th anniversary Bridport Carnival.
There are competitions, events and activities in the weeks building up to the big weekend.
Firstly, there’s the Bridport Carnival Princess competition. The Junior Bridport’s Got Talent royalty selection night is on June 26. See the Carnival Princess section on this website for more.
There’s also carnival bingo, golf, darts, a car boot sale and quiz night. We want local groups, firms, schools, organisations and individuals to enter the carnival procession on August 20.
