The Carnival in North Petherton has been going for more than 68 years. Before it was a town, North Petherton was the largest village in England and was an important settlement as far back as Saxon times. Geoffrey Chaucer was Deputy Forester at the royal estate of Petherton Park and the Alfred Jewel, which now resides in the Ashmolean Museum, was by chance found in the area.
Families line the street in anticipation - Credit: sub. Carnival in Midsomer Norton began in , but it promptly ended again in and instead was held in Wells. Midsomer Norton boasts beautiful historic buildings and through the centre of the town runs the River Somer. Hollies Garden offers a central green space for shoppers and others to meet, sit, and watch the world go by.
The Shepton Mallet Sunday Market in the town centre attracts local producers and supports independent traders and the town has a rich history with its roots still entrenched in cider production. The smallest city in England, during Carnival time the streets of Wells get packed out.
The narrow streets are heaving with families as the floats light up this historical place. There is plenty to see and do in Wells. Climb Glastonbury Tor for a sensational view across the county, and visit Glastonbury Abbey for a day out with the children. Just walking through the town of Glastonbury is an experience, where you might walk past a fairy or a pirate on your way to the shops.
