This is a popular page, access to all the events in South West England on this site in one place. Handy.
Covid hit many events and sadly some have not returned even though they were popular. There are many reasons of course and a few have fallen by the wayside.
There are still many wonderful and fun events throughout Wessex for you to enjoy.
An idea, have you thought of volunteering to help organise these events? All sorts of skills are needed, it is not just the big jobs, it is the little cogs that make the wheel go round and the event a success. That is a great deal of enjoyment too. So worthwhile.
Above all - have fun.

Devon is a beautiful historic county with ancient cities and landscapes as diverse as moorland, rural countryside and stunning coasts. The county has many walking and cycling trails well worth trying. Events are many, varied and popular.
Dorset with its stunning Jurrassic Coast, Bournemouth, Weymouth and pretty hilly Lyme Regis on the coast and ts pleasant rural countryside and Dorchester in the north makes a journey there well worth the time. It is an idea to add a relaxing short break to visiting the events!
Hampshire is a varied county. Winchester is the ancient capital of England, its cathedral and castle are worth a visit. King Alfred's statue dominates the High Street. The Test Valley meanders down to Romsey and beyond to Southampton Water. Visit Portsmouth Quay and the historic dockyard. Southampton for shopping and catching a glimpse of the liners in the dock. Downland rolls across the north. Petersfield is in an area of outstanding natural beauty while the New Forest is incomparable.
The Isle of Wight always has plenty to do. It has always had the longest list of events on this site! Does not matter what your interest there seems something on this active island. Added to all that it is a beautiful place to live or visit.
Somerset. This intriguing county has the Quantocks and the Mendips, the Somerset Levels and lovely lakes. Plenty of walks and cycling trails. Bristol is perhaps geographically in the county. Visit Taunton, Bath, Weston Super Mare and Wells with its lovely Cathedral and grounds. So many places and things to do.
Wiltshire the home of Stonehenge, Avebury, Salisbury Plain, and Salisbury itself. Trowbridge is the county town. Salisbury is the home of the International Arts Festival.
