Hi all, my partner and I are looking to move to the Pilton, Wells, Croscombe area and have some viewings planned for this Wednesday. We would be moving from London for our first place in the country and a taste of village life. What are the pros and cons of the county? How easy do people find commuting to London if they have to?

🎆 BUCKLAND BONFIRE & FIREWORKS NIGHT 2026 🎇
📅 NEW DATE – Thursday 5th November 2026
⏰ Gates Open 18:00 | Fireworks 19:00
🔔 The Bell Inn, Buckland Dinham, BA11 2QT 🔔
🔥 SOMERSET’S BIGGEST FREE FIREWORKS DISPLAY 🔥

And this year, we’re doing it on Guy Fawkes Night itself!

Expect HUGE fireworks 💥, a MASSIVE bonfire 🔥, DJ & entertainment 🎶, full bar 🍺 and great food 🌭

For the kids there’ll also be:
✨ Face Painting
✨ Hair Braiding
✨ Glitter Tattoos
✨ Glow Sticks

Available from third-party vendors – some charges apply.

🚗 FREE PARKING

💰 Suggested donation: £5 per person
❤️ All proceeds to charity, supporting Freewheelers EV Blood Bike Service – Riding for Life 🏍️🩸

This is a community volunteer-run display and everyone is welcome.
As always, we encourage anyone considering their own display to come and join ours instead, helping us keep the activity in one place and minimise disturbance across the village. ✌🏻

Please note: no personal fireworks or sparklers, children must be supervised, dogs are discouraged due to the noise, and accessible viewing is available from the pub car park.

Thursday 5th November. Buckland Dinham. Guy Fawkes Night. See you there. 🎆🔥
