Watchet Summertime 2022

With the school holidays nearly upon us here in Watchet we are all looking for things to do to keep the children (and the adults) occupied. One of Watchet’s best events of the school holidays is the Watchet Summertime. A free week of events for all the family. Sunday 14th August until Saturday 20th August.

There have been a number of changes to the old summertime format, but we know that the new ‘Night of Lights’ will be a hit and we hope you will all join in. The fireworks return for the Saturday Night.

A full programme is available on the link below
