THIS year’s Melksham Carnival route has been shortened, so take note of the changes to ensure you don’t miss the procession.
After careful consideration, Melksham Carnival committee has decided to shorten the route the procession will take this year.
The procession will leave Cooper-Avon car park travelling through Bath Road and Bank Street before turning left into Lowbourne, then right into Ruskin Avenue and joining Pembroke Road. It will then turn right into Coronation Road before turning right into Spa Road. The procession will then continue down the High Street to return to the Cooper-Avon car park via Bank Street and Bath Road.
Please note: Melksham Carnival covers approximately 1.7 miles and can take up to two hours to complete. To help the more energetic entries, Coronation Road has been designated an optional rest point where performance entries such as dancers, twirlers etc. will be allowed to walk rather than perform if they wish to take a breather. The roads will be closed on a rolling closure basis between 5.30pm-8.00pm. Please be patient and courteous to the marshalls whilst the closures are in effect.
