  Driving through town. If you blink you miss them. Theres more branches on a Lolly Stick. Also where are all the lights that used to go across the road? why are we using the normal building lights, leaving the walls bare? County Town of Somerset... pfft. Ilminster's Lights are better

  It is extraordinary that with so many expert events organisers (judging by the other comments) that Taunton finds it so difficult to please everyone. To be critical of the events is so easy as to do so carries no responsibility.
  
  With what I assume was very limited funding is it astonshing that so much entertainment was provided with support from both the business and local community.
  
  As one of the audiance I thought Santa Claus was a great improvement on last year, the samba band were terrific (more please next time), the fire dancers great, the helioshpere brilliant, the fun fair in Castle Green just that ~ fun and the fireworks as good as ever.
  
  If there is a criticisim it is that some people's expectations were not managed effectively, and perhaps they need to be more realistic in future."
