Yeovil

There’s plenty to do besides shopping in Yeovil, the Octagon Theatre always has a varied and ambitious programme of events, the smaller Swan Theatre puts on several innovative productions every year. The David Hall Arts Centre has a growing reputation for staging cutting edge dramatic and musical events. For the more active Yeovil has a top class dry ski slope and the Recreation Centre boasts an international standard athletics arena.

Yeovil’s rural location has long nurtured a tradition of high quality local produce, many farmhouse cheeses are produced in the area and there are a number of small vineyards, some open to the public. There are plenty of restaurants and pubs in and the around the town offering a wide range of local foods and international cuisines.

Nightlife in Yeovil is typical of a small country town with just one or two clubs but plenty of pubs and bars offering a range of varied entertainment.

Within a short driving distance of Yeovil the surrounding countryside is full of interesting places to visit. Just 4 miles to the west of town is the magnificently preserved Elizabethan Montacute House and its formal English gardens. Bruton Dovecote and Tintinhull House, 2 National Trust managed Homes are also well worth a visit.
