November Events

The weather is chilly, all you want to do is stay in and keep warm…. but, check out the things going on locally that may be able to tempt you to venture out.

Ottery Tar Barrels

The West Country has a history of torchlight processions and burning barrels and Ottery was only one of the many towns and villages following an annual tradition containing barrels which were rolled in the streets on November 5th each year. Somewhere along the line someone decided rolling was tame and carrying barrels on your shoulders was far more appealing and so the present tradition was born and now Ottery is the only town in the country carrying full sized lighted tar barrels through the streets.
