What’s On in Wells is supported by the Wells Festival of Literature, celebrating writers, readers and the written word in the heart of the city. October gets going quickly in Wells, with PRP Gospel Choir on Friday followed by a Saturday featuring a free telescope clinic and the Wells Cathedral Chorister Trust Annual Evensong. The programme continues on Tuesday with six Wells Cathedral School specialist musicians performing in Wedmore, before an evening of mediumship at Wells City FC on Wednesday. It is a fairly broad definition of “something for everyone”, but Wells appears willing to test it.
