We are proud of our present and past, our individual spirit and friendly welcome. For outdoor enthusiasts, culture cravers, locals and guests, Bridgwater is a town with a lot to offer.

You can explore our heritage town trails on foot, enjoy canalside traffic-free cycling via our network of cycle paths or head further afield on the Somerset stretch of the England Coast Path to discover harbours, beaches and nature reserves.

Soak up our colourful history and be inspired by our creativity with visits to The McMillan Theatre, the Bridgwater Blake Museum, Bridgwater Arts Centre and the Engine Room film and media centre.

Renowned as a party town, our annual calendar of events includes Bridgwater’s world famous Carnival , the largest illuminated parade in Europe, as well as Festivals, markets, fairs and community events. For year-round entertainment, enjoy the latest films and ten-pin bowling at our new leisure development, Northgate Yard.
