The Community Heritage Access Centre (CHAC) has published the 2017 Yeovil calendar.
Now in its fourth year, the calendar is produced by South Somerset District Council’s Heritage Team and supported by the Arts Council.
This year’s calendar has a theme of celebration as Heritage Information Assistant, Joseph Lewis, explained: “With the 2017 calendar, we emphasise people coming together for national and social occasions and highlight some intriguing Yeovil scenes and industries. These include the Proclamation of King Edward VII in The Borough and a group image of possibly Yeovil’s First Carnival.”
The Celebrating Yeovil 2017 Calendar is presented in a new landscape format.
The calendars are available at £6 each or two for £10. Please add £1.50 for postage and packaging if ordering by post.
