Dulverton by Starlight is a free annual event, that will once again bring the festive spirit to Exmoor – with shops open, a craft market, street entertainment and of course the wonderful fireworks too! The town will be bursting with happy smiles and joyful singing from local choirs.

As with every year, visitors to Dulverton by Starlight will enjoy the sparkling white lights on the Christmas trees that line the streets of this pretty moorland town. The shops and businesses will be traditionally dressed for the season and many of them will open their doors to welcome people all day for Christmas shopping. The popular Indoor and Outdoor Winter Markets will be selling local crafts, gifts and food.

Held on the first Sunday of December every year, visitors of all ages from far and wide will visit to Dulverton to enjoy the roaming entertainers with their pop-up performances, juggling, tricks and endless jokes. Santa will be in the Heritage Centre, there will be carols to sing along to beside the huge Christmas tree in Bank Square and the ever popular fireworks will silhouette All Saints Church.
