Victorian Evening gets off to a good start

In the run up to the start of Ilminster's popular 'Victorian Evening', and undeterred by the weather, pupils from local schools, including Greenfylde, Hambridge and Swanmead, entertained local residents throughout the day with carols and Christmas songs.

This is the fourth year that local business woman, Angie Blackwell from Cottage Flowers, has organised the event, and she said, 'I always feel it gives the evening a great start, and involving local schools helps everyone to feel included. I am also grateful to local shops for their support. Chocolates were provided by Tesco and the Co-op, and to make sure the children did not go hungry, sandwiches were provided by Silver St. Dairy. It was also lovely to see the support we always get from our local County Councillor Linda Vijeh, who seems to turn up everywhere!'
