DRAGON hunters hurry! The Taunton Deane Dragon Trail ends at 6pm this Sunday, September 14.

Organisers will start taking in the dragons after 6pm and hope to complete the collection process over the following few days.

The Taunton Deane Dragon Trail, which has involved 31 decorated creatures located around Taunton, Wellington and Wiveliscombe throughout the summer, has been led by Deane Mayor Dave Durdan.

It aims to raise money for good causes, bring people to the area and create some family fun.

After Sunday the dragons will be cleaned and repaired before they make a ‘guard of honour’ appearance along the drive of Queen’s College, Taunton, as part of the Quartz arts festival between September 29 and October 11.

School children in Wellington are due to say goodbye to the town centre dragon on Monday.

A grand auction of 21 of the dragons then takes place on Sunday, October 12, at Queen’s Hall, at Queen’s College.

Details on how to obtain your ticket for the auction will follow soon. Organisers hope the auction will raise as much money as possible for the Mayor’s fund so anyone wanting to dig deep to buy their own dragon is invited.

Remember to buy your raffle tickets for Roary the Dragon at Taunton Tourist Information Centre.

The grand draw for Roary takes place on auction night.

And keep reading to find out about a ‘bonus’ dragon that should be making an appearance soon.

The follow dragons are being auctioned: Rainbow, Shifter, Swirly, Somerset Dragon, Windy, Chameleon, Aqua Dragonus, Daisy Chain Making at Vivary, Inclusion, Tauntonsaurus Rex, Sir Salix, The Circus Comes to Town, Wicket, Sandy MacDivot, Camo, Steamer, Defendamus, Accident Pronus, Orchard Scrumper, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Night Dragon.

The other dragons are being retained by their sponsors.
