Plans are well underway for the annual family-friendly extravaganza. Attractions will include Bouncy Castles, Face Painting, Punch & Judy, the Midsomer Norton & Radstock Silver Band, Street Organ, Goat Rrides, Balloon Modelling, Music Workshops and much, much more.

This year’s Maypole Dance Festival will also see over 100 local school children taking part in the main arena outside the Somer Centre followed by other community group displays through the afternoon. Inside the Somer Centre there will be displays of Art and Photography as well as the popular Tea Room with delicious cakes and sandwiches.

The Arts Festival also brings its main celebration to the heart of the Fayre. After the success of last year attendees will be able to enjoy a range of music, poetry, puppet shows, drama and more from the best local creative minds. And of course, as detailed last week in The Journal local residents are invited to get creative by growing, baking, making and much more and enter the Town Show.
