Wells is fast becoming the South West's go-to place for festivals with annual food, literary, comedy and theatre events. The cafe culture within the Market Place offers a wonderful opportunity to sit and watch the world go by. Tables and chairs adorn the cobbled square surrounded by fabulous architecture and historic buildings. With both the Cathedral School and the Cathedral itself, there are all year opportunities for musical concerts and other events, plus there are regular shows in the Little Theatre and a multi screen cinema.
Other local attractions and amenities include the well known Bath and West Show Ground which is home to everything from the famous County show to regular antiques markets. Golf Clubs are in Wells and on the Mendips. Sailing and fishing can be found on the Chew Valley and Blagdon Lakes.
