Saturday July 20th 11-4pm and 7 till late
Minehead Harbour Festival
Visit the Fisherman’s Quarter for a day of fun and laughter, searching for treasure at our pirate party and live band. The arts, crafts and produce market will bring flavours of the countryside and local authors will be signing books.
Celebrity ships will be visiting in the lead up to the event and it is hoped to effect a cultural exchange of local produce with neighbouring Barry via the tall ship, Irene.
Sea shanties, storytelling and exploration of this historic area will also be part of the programme.
Feeling energetic? Take a walk up North Hill for breathtaking views over the harbour, out towards the Welsh coast and across to glorious Exmoor National Park. Visit the WWII tank grounds, greet the Exmoor ponies and possibly spot our famous Red Deer. Why not take a break and stay a few nights to enjoy all we have to offer at a more leisurely pace? Our b&bs, guest houses, self catering properties, camping and caravanning offer a wide choice to welcome you to our seaside resort and gateway to Exmoor National Park with its stunning and varied scenery, offering wonderful walking and exploring opportunities.
