What's on in Dolemeads

Somerset, England

Dolemeads sits snugly in Somerset where the rain often comes down but the culture never dries up. The Victoria Art Gallery has been showing off new work for years, and there is usually a market stall nearby selling everything from pottery to pies. It is a proper place to spend an afternoon without needing to drive miles away. Even if the skies are grey, you can find plenty of local charm right here in town. Near Here keeps track of what is on so you do not have to ask your neighbours for updates. We make sure you know where to go before the rain starts really hammering down.
