Road Closures (Sat 13 July, 2024)
The roads that will be used during the procession include: Great Pulteney St, Argyle St, Pulteney Bridge, Grand Parade, Orange Grove, High St, Northgate St, Broad St, George St, Milsom St and New Bond St.
Road closures will operate between 14:00 to 18:00 with diversion routes in place, with bay suspensions in place from 07:00. As in previous years the line-up area for the procession is situated on Great Pulteney Street.
We intend to re-open roads as soon as the procession has moved through each section of the Carnival route for the final time.
We will do our very best to minimise any inconvenience caused, although there will inevitably be a certain amount of disruption, for which we apologise. We thank you for your co-operation.
