Bridgwater History Day is back! After a year off due to Covid (where it continued online) we’ll be back at the Bridgwater Arts Centre with a selection of stories from our towns fascinating history. As usual it’s totally free and includes some historic free meal mid day as well.

Bridgwater History Day is sponsored by Bridgwater Town Council and Bridgwater College. This year the range of local speakers will cover topics ranging from King Arthur, through Bridgwater’s parks and gardens to folk songs of the town and some modern political history. As usual local photographic archivist Paul Bovett has dug out a fascinating selection of his popular ‘photos of old Bridgwater’
