Weston-super-Mare Carnival is introducing a new route for its 2025 procession, designed to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all involved and avoid a delayed start due to overcrowding.

 The revised route will start from the Pelican Crossing adjacent to the Main Tesco Car Park on Locking Road and then into the Bus Hub adjacent to Tesco continuing around passed the Plaza Cinema briefly on Walliscote Road to turn right down Oxford Street towards the Sea Front. The parade will make a left turn at the end of Oxford Street along the Beach Road, passed the Pirate Golf and the first small Beach Lawn before turning right around the small lawn to continue the route along the Marine Parade to then turn right by the Cabot Hotel into the rest area along Knightstone Road by the College. It will proceed onto South Parade, Waterloo Street, and the Boulevard turning right into Alfred Street and conclude at the Pelican Crossing on Locking Road adjacent to the Tesco Carpark.

We will update our FAQs on our Facebook Page as we get closer to the parade night – Friday 7th November 2025, the main parade starts at 1900hrs
