Oyez! Oyez! The Battle of the Bells Begins
Dust off your tricorn hats and brace your eardrums! This Saturday, the historic heart of Ilminster will echo with the thunderous calls of the finest voices in the region.
The Ilminster Town Crier Competition is officially back, bringing a colourful spectacle of tradition, pageantry, and pure vocal power to the town. It’s more than just a shouting match; it’s a masterclass in projection, personality, and the ancient art of the proclamation.
Why You Can't Miss It:
-
The Spectacle: Watch as criers from across the country compete in full regalia.
-
The Volume: Experience the raw power of voices that can be heard throughout the town and beyond!
-
The Tradition: A unique opportunity to see a piece of living history right in the heart of Ilminster.
Whether you're there for the bells or the booming "Oyez," it’s going to be a day to remember. Just maybe leave the sensitive hearing aids at home!
