17 May 15 - 01:19 PM (#3709483) Subject: RE: Porlock, Somerset: Visiting June 2015 From: Steve Shaw Make sure you have a ride on the West Somerset steam railway between Minehead and Bishops Lydeard. Lovely it is. Porlock Weir is very charming. Dunster Castle is very pleasant on a nice day and the town is an agreeable place. Have a stroll up Dunkery Beacon, Exmoor's highest point, a gentle stroll of about a mile and a half from the country road. |

RafflesBear has sessions at various venues in Minehead, but the best one is at The Britannia Inn every Sunday from 4 until 8.00. There are occasional Tuesaday sessions there. There was a good open mic at The Top Ship in Porlock too. I suggest contacting Rafflesbear on here or Richard Neal on Facebook. Try Barbara Brown also. She has Saturday nights in Coombe Martin. Lots of venues listedon the SADFOLK websiteSADFOLK |
