Weekly Roundup of Events in Wiltshire: 6th – 11th July 2023

Bit drizzley innit? Usually waits until after the kids break up from school, so maybe the sun will put his hat on then, or perhaps this will just continue until the rainy season in autumn; who can tell? One thing we can tell you though, there’s lots to occupy yourselves around these backwaters with this coming week, and here it all is…..
