dunster winter festival
In 2025, the Festival activities will be held on Friday 5th in the evening, and during the day on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th December. There’ll be a variety of entertainment designed for visitors of all ages including music, children's activities including Santa's grotto and a reindeer station, lots of mediaeval-themed entertainment including a medieval banquet and re-enactment, and trader special events.
​
Charming at any time of the year, the medieval village of Dunster and Dunster Castle will be dressed for Christmas and will look stunning over the Festival weekend.
dunster winter festival 2024
Despite the worst that Mother Nature could throw at us in the form of Storm Darragh, with tremendous community spirit, despite having to cancel most events, we were able to put on a memorable inaugural Christmas Festival in 2024. The finale being the torch-lit procession and concert by the Medieval Baebes.

After a mammoth effort fundraising throughout the year and generous donations through our GoFund Me page, we still managed to raise funds for community projects - we donated £500 to the Dunster Memorial Hall and £50 to the Parish Magazine.
