The earliest written record was in 1850 when it was described in the Plymouth Gazette as a "cattle fair"It soon became an opportunity to show and sell other livestock- particularly locally bred sheep and Dartmoor ponies, and by the 1920s it had also become a sports day for local schoolchildren. In 1933, stalls were introduced, selling rural arts and crafts. Widecombe Fair was suspended during the Second World War, but reinstated in 1945 with new attractions, including a gymkhana and tug of war. All profits were donated to the local "Welcome Home Fund" for returning soldiers, sailors and airmen. In 1989, it was decided to cancel the pony classes following an outbreak of Equine Flu(these were replaced with terrier races, which have continued ever since.) The fair was cancelled altogether in 2001 due to the outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease. however, despite these interruptions, the event has steadily grown in size and reputation. In its earlier years, it was held in various locations around the village, including the village green. Today however, it occupies a large field to the south of Widecombe(known to locals as The Fair Field.) Others fields become car parks and a complex policing and marshalling system is put in place, with the narrow lanes transformed into a one-way road system.Todays visitors will still see displays of quality livestock, although there are other attractions,including: a dog show, displays of local produce, vintage farm machinery, rural arts and crafts, bale tossing and a now traditional appearance by Uncle Tom Cobley himself-featuring a local resident in fancy dress, riding a grey mare.

Why not visit the Tutankhumun exhibition.It follows the Treasures of the Tutankhamun exhibition which was shown in London at the British Museum in 1972. The exhibition travelled to many countries including the USA,USSR,Japan,france,Canada and West Germany.During this period, despite expert supervision and care, the exhibits unfortunately suffered from their ordeal. The Egyptian Government, in an effort to preserve them from any future stress,made a decision that the Gold Mask of Tutankhamun and many of the major treasures were not to leave their home in Egypt again. Tutankhamun Exhibition was designed and created to overcome this problem. All the exhibits have been carefully crafted by meticulous reference to the original antiquities, photographic records and detailed measurements and diagrams. Craftsmen and artists have recreated the treasures by using, wherever practicable, materials and methods used in making the originals, making the treasures shown in this exhibition identical as possible to the originals now in Egypt.This care and accuracy of the archaeologists and craftsmen have extended to the reconstruction of the antechamber of the tomb.It has been recreated exactly as it was when Howard Carter entered in 1922. The burial chamber has been recreated to show the moment the golden coffins were removed from the sarcophagus. Such is the accuracy of the treasures and setting in this exhibition that they have featured in a number of national and international television programmes on Tutankhumun, which have chosen to feature the tomb and treasures in this exhibition rather than the originals now in Egypt.They have also been reproduced in books, magazines and newspapers.

The annual Goose Fair in Tavistock dates back to the early 12th century, when a Michelmas Fair held every September 29th provided the opportunity for business and animal trading, and was a social event for wives and daughters. The name Goose Fair probably came about as farmers brought their geese ready for fattening for Christmas, and the only other Goose Fair (in Nottingham) has a similar connection. When the new calendar was introduced in 1752 the 'loss' of 11 days changed the date of the Michelmas Fair to October 10th, and now the Fair is held on the second Wednesday in October each year. Market traders come from all over the country to sell their wares and provide entertainment. Stalls and side shows are set up in the centre of the town.

Set within 900 acres of Capability Brown landscaped parkland, Longleat House is widely regarded as one of the best examples of high Elizabethan architecture in Britain and one of the most beautiful stately homes open to the public. It was the present Marquess of Bath's father, the 6th Marquess, who first perceived that a house of this magnitude and splendour could become a major tourist attraction and, in 1949, opened Longleat House to the public on a fully commercial basis and it was the first stately home to do so! 1966 then saw the next first when Longleat opened the first Safari Park outside of Africa. Today it is difficult to imagine the furore aroused when Longleat's plans for a 100-acre lion reserve were made public. There were dire warnings of big cats running amok in the Wiltshire countryside, local clergymen were up in arms and there were even questions asked in the Houses of Parliament. In spite of the fears however the concept of a drive through safari park proved hugely popular and forty years on, Longleat Safari Park remains one of the country's leading wildlife attractions.

Bridgwater takes its Carnival seriously, the origins are lost in time but journalistic records refer to the event in the 1860's. The Carnival became officially recognised in 1881. The event starts in early October when local clubs present a Carnival Concert which has a two week run at the Bridgwater Town Hall. This event is a sell out and provides much needed revenue to support the local carnival clubs, who in early November stage what is probably the largest illuminated carnival in the world. Each Carnival Club is made up of volunteers who work hard all year round to put the carnival on, the event attracts people from all over the country with many being transported in by special coaches or trains. The evening finishes with the annual squibbing display, this is unique to Bridgwater. The squibs are let off the length of the Bridgwater High Street, when over 140 squibs are let off simultaneously in the air at arms reach, they are held up by carnival club members on a specially built cosh. Originally the squibs were made specially for Bridgwater Carnival and were known as the Bridgwater Squib, these culminated with a large bang as each squib extinguishes. Unfortunately with the demise of the firework it has become difficult to purchase squibs with a bang, so today's squib has no bang, but the display remains as spectacular as ever.

For part of the year visitors can also see the Semi State rooms, which are some of the most splendid interiors in the castle. They are furnished with treasures from the Royal Collection including paintings by Holbein, Rubens, Van Dyck and Lawrence, fine tapestries and porcelain, sculpture and armour. Within the Castle complex there are many additional attractions, including the Drawings Gallery, Queen Mary's dolls' house, and the fourteenth-century St. George's Chapel, the burial place of ten sovereigns and setting for many Royal weddings. KEW GARDENS is Famous throughout the world as a major repository of botanical knowledge and life, these great gardens are a magnet to the expert and the amateur gardener. Their purposes might be scientific: the conservation of and investigation into habits or rare, vulnerable and productive plants is part of their work, but it is the beauty and diversity of character of Kew Gardens which is of immediate appeal. They inspire affection as well as admiration; generations of visitors return time and again to visit a part of the three hundred acres which they consider particularly their own. Seemingly infinite in extent, they might shrink with familiarity but no visitor however well acquainted with even its most hidden corners, leaves without having discovered or learnt something new. It is impossible to see all Kew has to offer in one visit and a mistake even to try. Individual taste and the season should guide your footsteps. Some prefer to explore the peaceful, wild or woodland areas, others to admire the formal beds and period gardens, shelter from a passing shower in one of the many glasshouses or be transported to a different world of steamy tropics or arid desert. The menu is long and rich and guarantees satisfaction for even the most fastidious of tastes.

Set within 900 acres of Capability Brown landscaped parkland, Longleat House is widely regarded as one of the best examples of high Elizabethan architecture in Britain and one of the most beautiful stately homes open to the public. It was the present Marquess of Bath's father, the 6th Marquess, who first perceived that a house of this magnitude and splendour could become a major tourist attraction and, in 1949, opened Longleat House to the public on a fully commercial basis and it was the first stately home to do so! 1966 then saw the next first when Longleat opened the first Safari Park outside of Africa. Today it is difficult to imagine the furore aroused when Longleat's plans for a 100-acre lion reserve were made public. There were dire warnings of big cats running amok in the Wiltshire countryside, local clergymen were up in arms and there were even questions asked in the Houses of Parliament. In spite of the fears however the concept of a drive through safari park proved hugely popular and forty years on, Longleat Safari Park remains one of the country's leading wildlife attractions. But that's not all Longleat now encompasses a wide range of attractions to suit visitors of all ages find yourself going round in circles in the Longleat Hedge Maze, journey on the Safari Boats for a sea-lion escorted cruise, enjoy a fun-packed ride on the Longleat Railway, let the kids let off steam in the Adventure Castle and more!
