Dunster by Candlelight

Dunster, on the fringes of the Exmoor National Park, is unique, with a wide High Street overlooked by the Medieval Castle. Candlelight is its biggest event of the year and involves nearly everyone in this small Somerset village. The ancient streets ring with carol singers, choirs, brass bands, and bell ringers. There are street entertainers, flame jugglers and costumed characters. The shops stay open late providing opportunities for quirky Christmas shopping. Colourful stilt walkers lead a procession to light the lanterns on the Friday evening and the two-day festival is a great opportunity to ‘eat, drink and be merry’.

The Yarn Market Hotel

Family owned and managed, the Yarn Market is right in the heart of the village, just a short stroll from the Castle. It prides itself on a warm welcome, friendly service and top-quality food. As you would expect in an old building, the bedrooms vary in size and character, but all are comfortably furnished. There is a lift, but also steps in parts of the hotel.
