The show started at Parsonage Farm in Watchet in 2007 from July 27 until 29. Watchet was returning to normal this week following the town’s - and the district’s biggest party at the weekend. The three-day Watchet Carnival Festival weekend, at Parsonage Farm, Brendon Road, for the first time, saw thousands of visitors from Friday through to Sunday. The event ended with a spectacular Sunday night at the Proms’ style concert, featuring the Cornish Symphonia, and the now-famous firework extravaganza. The event cost about £55,000 to put on this year, compared with £20,000 last year when the carnival was on East Wharf, which is earmarked for development.
