The Somerset Carnivals are highly regarded as the largest illuminated procession in the world. The carnival carts are designed and built by dedicated carnival clubs around the West Country. These clubs have many members who raise money throughout the year, and work relentlessly to achieve the spectacular carnival entries. Carts take part in the carnival parade along with many other entries. The illuminated carts can be up to 100ft in length, 16ft high, and 11ft wide, and some can have up to 30,000 light bulbs.
