Double the fun as Warminster carnival gets film star treatment
(October 03, 2010)WARMINSTER will join the 'big boys' of the
autumn carnival circuit as a film crew that covers the prestigious
Bridgwater illuminated pageant will be in town to cover ours.
The carnival in Warminster, on the last Saturday of October, is
a
'not to be missed' major event in the local diary which in recent years
has been threatened but now is doubled and lasting a fortnight.
a
'not to be missed' major event in the local diary which in recent years
has been threatened but now is doubled and lasting a fortnight.A stalwart of the Warminster carnival committee, Sandra Major,
told visionforwarminster that the event was going to be recorded and
available for sale, and for the first time there will be two weeks of fun.
"Moving Arts TV actually film Bridgwater and other big carnivals and they will be in Warminster on the day," revealed Sandra.
"I was so pleased when Sandra told me this afternoon that it will now be on offer as a souvenir," said Paul Macdonald.
"How many of us have family and friends that have taken part in
one way or another over the years? I have something to add to my
Christmas stocking filler list of presents to give."
The carnival is part of the Wessex Grand Prix Circuit which
started on 14 August and travels through Mere, Frome,
Shaftesbury, Gillingham, Castle Cary, and Trowbridge before concluding
in Warminster.
(Wellington Carnival is joined by Ilminster, Chard and Taunton
holding their carnivals as part of the South Somerset Federation).
Another first is a 'carnival' display in the car park by the
Assembly Hall for three hours provisionally planned to start at 1pm.
The event will support two good causes. The 'Rose
Trust' set up by local businessman David Deacon and the Salisbury
Hospice.
"We do need more collectors and still need marshals on the day,"
added Sandra. "Please phone me on (01985) 217050 or e-mail me on
[email protected]."
