MENDIP TIMES
Everyone and their moms is packing round here!
THE classic film Hot Fuzz will be screened on the lawn of the Bishop’s Palace in Wells at the end of April – marking the 15th anniversary of its release. Tickets are now on sale for the event, on Friday, April 29th; when Hot Fuzz was shown five years ago, tickets sold out within 24 hours. Sally Cooper, of Wells Film Centre, which is organising the evening in conjunction with the palace, said: “We are really pleased we can return to the Bishop’s Palace once more for another outdoor screening. “It’s also fantastic that Hot Fuzz will be back for its 15th Anniversary. We are already planning lots of fun things to happen during the pre-show on the night, so watch this space.” Tickets are £25 each. Included in the ticket is a hog roast (vegetarian, Vegan and dietary options available when booking), a drink and a goody bag. The drawbridge opens at 6.30pm with the pre-show starting from 8pm. Tickets are available in person at Wells Film Centre, by phone (01749 673195) or via: www.wellsfilmcentre.co.uk
Morris men emerge
MENDIP Morris have started off their summer dance season early by helping to promote Somerset Day on May 11th. They will be out and about dancing at local pubs in the area on Thursdays from the beginning of May. On some weeks they will be joined by Morris dancers from further afield in Somerset or the South West. Do go along to watch, support or join in! They will also be performing at some local, and not so local, arts or dance festivals over the summer. Details: https://www.facebook.com/MendipMorris/events/ http://mendipmorris.org.uk
Medieval fayre spectacular
THE grounds of Glastonbury Abbey will once again host a medieval fayre this April – and it is going to be bigger than ever, says organisers. Over the weekend of Saturday, April 23rd and Sunday, April 24th, the abbey will echo to the sounds of true medieval life with markets, living history displays and medieval demonstrations. The events runs between 10am and 5pm on both days and tickets start from just £7 for a day ticket and £10.50 for a weekend ticket. For details and to buy tickets, visit: www.glastonburyabbey.com
