The Christmas season is upon us, and one of the
most enjoyable events here is the Late Night Christmas
Shopping evening on Wednesday 10 December. Bruton
High Street is closed to traffic from 6 until 9pm, allowing
visitors to wander freely up and down the road and
investigate the shops, restaurants, pubs, the Museum and
Sexey’s Hospital, which are all laying on special treats.
Father Christmas will make his appearance as usual, too.
Traditional Christmas services are listed in the
Church Services, pages 42/44, with several extra carol
services in December. The midnight service at St Mary’s
is always full, and makes you feel that Christmas has
truly arrived.
