Weekly Roundup of Events in Wiltshire: 31st July – 6th August 2024

We’re into August already; Christmas before you know it, so you better get outside and taste the sun while it lasts….

Here’s what we’ve found in the wilds of Wiltshire this coming week, provided the Earth isn’t hit by a meteorite….a meaty feast pizza-orite, maybe, that’s okay, and the kind of cataclysmic event I dream about……

Everything listed here is on our event calendar; go there for links and more info, as it takes too much time to link them all in. It may also be updated as more events come to our attention, so check in later in the week too!

Ongoing: A Wiltshire Thatcher: A Photographic Journey Through Victorian Wessex runs at Wiltshire Museum, Devizes, until the end of August.

Important note: events which come to our attention from now on, will be updated on the Event Calendar and NOT HERE. So, be sure to check in from time to time, use the Event Calendar to find more info on everything listed on here, and for ticket links, etc. Use the Event Calendar to check for updates and planning ahead.

Did we miss you out? Did you tell us about your event? It’s not that we don’t like you, it’s because Devizine uses many sources to collate these listings, and sometimes we miss a few things. Listing your event here is free, but please make it easier for me by messaging or emailing the info, and then, and this is the really important part, make sure I’ve added it and let me know if not!

Have a good week!
