A POPULAR carnival procession is not taking place this year. Ilminster Carnival Committee (ICC) have decided to hold carnival week events from September 26 until October 2 2021, but without a procession. ICC have said the main reason for this is lack of fundraising events, and the clubs not being able to build to their “usual standards”. “We have made the decision after consulting with the carnival clubs that we will be holding Carnival week events between 26th Sept - 2nd Oct 2021, but no procession,” said a spokesperson for ICC. “We have not taken this decision lightly but with no major fundraising events for the clubs or committees and the clubs not being able to build to their usual standards we will not be holding a procession.
