THE final Watchet Street Fair of the season takes place this weekend.

The Apple Street Fair will be the last fair of the season for this new venture which has seen Fairs in Watchet on every first Sunday of the month since May.

Stalls from across the county will be selling all sorts of interesting goods from boutique knitwear, to artisan food to pottery and craft.

There is also set to have a unique performance of the ‘Somerset Players’ performing for the first time.

Players drawn from a number of brass/silver bands from across the County will be performing during the afternoon.

This has been organised by Watchet’s Ruth Austin who is usually seen on the cornet with the Burtle Silver Band. Players are expected from as far as Wincanton, Wells, Burtle and of course Watchet.

West Somerset District Cllr Rosemary Woods said: “We are all set to have a wonderful last Street Fair for the season.

"The Majorettes will performing, plus our local buskers are expected and music from Joel Tait and his friends will fill in the morning and any gaps in entertainment.

"The Kids/Parent Crafts will be there in the morning: we are building on the favourites which have included flowers, sun visors, Indian headdresses and Royal-themed crowns.”

The organisers of the events, Watchet Coastal Communities Team is made up of local people, businesses and organisations in Watchet.

The Street Fairs aim to attract more visitors to Watchet, celebrate local festivities, as well as helping to support start-up businesses in the area.
