Folk musicians and carol singers at Dunster by Candlelight, West Somerset
lk musicians and carol singers were playing and singing Christmas tunes and carols at Dunster by Candlelight which takes place the first Friday and Saturday in December each year and is a marvellous Christmas event and opportunity to late night shop.
Unfortunately, because I was with my family, I didn’t have my instruments with me, otherwise I would have joined in.
However, it was nice to be with all the other people just wandering around in the Dunster High Street, soaking up the Olde Worlde atmosphere in this old fashioned village with all its quaint shops and houses.
Stilt walkers at Dunster by Candlelight, West Somerset
There were stilt walkers, the West Somerset Morris men, wood sculpting demonstrations, chestnut vendors and many street entertainments to enjoy.
I went for a drink at the Stags Head Inn, West Street, Dunster where there was a lovely open fire burning logs and got chatting to a couple who had been coming to Dunster by Candlelight for years and who had now moved down into West Somerset because they liked the area so much.

Perhaps next year I’ll take my flute along and join in.
Bye for now
