Carol Singing in Bank Square at Dulverton By Starlight
Dulverton by Starlight once again brings the festive spirit to Exmoor in 2023 – with most of the 40+ independent shops open for the event, craft market, entertainment and of course the wonderful Fireworks too!
Taking place from 2-7pm on Sunday 3rd December the annual winter festival sparkles with white lights on the Christmas trees that line the streets of this pretty moorland town. The shops and businesses will be traditionally dressed for the season and many of them will open all day for browsing and buying for Christmas goodies.
The popular Indoor and Outdoor Winter Market will run from 2pm to 7pm selling local crafts, gifts and food. Roaming entertainers will keep you enthralled wherever you are in town with their pop-up performances, juggling, tricks and endless jokes. Look out for Santa in the Heritage Centre from 3pm, carols to sing along to by the big Christmas tree at 5.45pm and the ever popular fireworks to finish off a fun day at 6.15pm.
Parking and Park & Ride available!
Dulverton Town Council has liaised with Somerset Council to ensure that parking in the town’s car parks will be free of charge on Sunday 3rd. Park and Ride available from Brushford, Masons Kings and The Anchor Inn in Exebridge.
