A fun-filled day of maritime inspired activities are on the cards when the Porlock Weir Sea Festival launches this autumn.
Taking place on Saturday September 24th from 2-6.30pm, the afternoon of entertainment will include kayaking and archery with Exmoor Adventures, boat trips with Porlock Weir Charters, live sea shanty music from Hugill’s Crew and The Barnacle Buoys and live theatre from Clementine’s Live Arts.
Porlock Bay Oysters will be hosting tours and shucking demonstrations, there will be a display of sea themed word carvings by Mike Leach, a treasure hunt, painting demonstrations and talks and tours by Exmoor Natural History Society.
Other groups taking part include the National Trust, the RNLI, Minehead Coastguard and Porlock Weir Gig Club who will be holding a separate event on the same day.
The festival will be kicked off by Town Crier Grant Dennis, who will also be MC for the day, and there will be plenty of refreshments from all outlets in Porlock Weir, including The Bottom Ship, Ziangs, Harbour Gallery and Café and Harbour Stores.
The event is free with donations to the RNLI, HM Coastguard and Porlock Visitor Centre and there will be a shuttle bus running between Porlock and Porlock Weir.
This event has been organised by Porlock Visitor Centre, in collaboration with Porlock Manor Estate, The Bottom Ship, Exmoor Adventures and Porlock Bay Oyster Company.
We are especially grateful to Somerset County Council’s Community Renewal Fund for grant funding towards this event.
