From 1st September 2011 the Carnival Chronicle and Wessex Carnivals website merged, thus creating The Carnival Times, the largest carnival website in the world, and we

now proudly bring you the Devon, Somerset and Wessex Carnivals, with those from further afield, together on The Carnival Times, with the six co-owners amassing 141 years

of taking part in carnivals in the South West of England.

We have improved our layout to make it easier for our visitors to navigate the site, we originally started in 2000 as the Carnival Chronicle for both Carnivalites and non Carnivalites a a reminder 

of Carnivals past and present, the Carnival Chronicle and its associated websites include history, photographs and results, from the East, South and Devon Carnivals, Somerset County Guy Fawkes

Carnivals, South Somerset, and Wessex Circuits.

The Carnival scene in Somerset will change dramatically from 2012, with Bridgwater Carnival changing to a Saturday and the next carnival, the following Friday at Weston-super-Mare,

then it is back to normal with the remainder of the circuit. It may well have the opposite effect with entries starting at North Petherton, due the rising costs of fuel and club

members being unable to take time off from their work place.

We have 007,556  images online with more being added each week as more sections are rebuilt and brought back on line, from 2013 we will be adding movies from selected carnivals.

All updates to this website can be found through the updates section via the link in the menu bar above. Thank you for your continuing support, it really does make everything worthwhile.

The Carnival Times is solely funded by it's owners, we do not deprive Carnival Committee's of valuable revenue, by selling Carnival related merchandise.
