Events In Wiltshire
Living in Salisbury I feel I am very lucky that I have so many amazing walks and historic sites to look at whether its Stonehenge, the amazing walkways ways that are over huge tracts of Wiltshire’s gorgeous countryside, or the beautiful Sarum castle which hosts jousting and re-enactments at varying times of the year.
Salisbury is also host to the Salisbury International Arts Festival at the last part of May through to the start of June which always has some amazing performances and activities lined up for anyone needing to take part. If like to travel however and can’t wait until then I know there is the Budapest Spring Festival approaching at the end of March first week in April that would be of worth a look at an equally dramatic historical city.
Wiltshire is renowned for its walks and cycling routes with some amazing landscapes to travel through. One of the roman droves takes you all the way down to Devon which lets anyone on a budget to get on their cycle and ride. As we gradually move in the direction of spring time the number of gorgeous hot air balloons floating through the sky increases, with most providing the ability of people hiring a place for a ride.
There are lots of picturesque villages around Wiltshire with local community life taking a hand in how the areas grow, this ensures that there is always something going on locally. Its worth looking at local newspapers to discover Whats on in Wiltshire, or going online and looking at one of several community information websites online.
The historical side of Salisbury and the locality has been further enhanced by the labours of the fantastic archaeological team that is situated on the outskirts of Salisbury. With one of its people on the team of the renowned “Time Team” from channel 4, they are gradually taking back the layers disguising what has been in front of us. several of their finds can be viewed in the Salisbury Museum which has a brilliant collection of historical artefacts.
You can discover facts about the area by popping into the Salisbury Visitor Information centre and speaking to the people there, they will help inform you of things that are happening at the time, or put you in the correct route if you want to view certain things in the area. As I talked about at the start of this article I feel very lucky to be in Wiltshire and only advise that you discover what is available before you come so that you can allow yourself enough time.
