THE Bridgwater Arts Centre in historic Castle Street will be the scene once again for the town’s popular annual ‘History Day’.

Several historians will pick a topic from the town’s history and present it to an audience who not only gets free entry but get a free lunch.

Organiser, Town Council leader Cllr Brian Smedley, said: “Bridgwater people are justifiably proud of their history.

“This will be the seventh history day we’ve run and with seven speakers a year that’s 42 talks on Bridgwater History we’ve got through and always with a packed room.

“As usual, there’ll be some historic food done for us by Purplespoon, and this year there’s an additional ‘cider’ theme to the event.

“The Day runs from 10.30am to 4pm and it’s free. Everyone’s welcome, our history belongs to all of us.”

Bridgwater History Day is organised by Bridgwater Town Council in conjunction with Bridgwater & Taunton College.

This year the joint comperes of the event will be town council leader and deputy leader Brian Smedley & Kathy Pearce.

The event will be opened by Mayor of Bridgwater Cllr Liz Leavy.

There will be talks about the Brick and Tiles Museum, The Streets Name of Bridgwater, and many other topics.

Also, in the historic rooms of the historic Bridgwater Arts Centre on Historic History Day will be a stall by the Blake Museum, another by the civic society and one by local historian Dave Chapple.

The event will take place on Saturday, November 19.
