After being cancelled in 2020 because of the dreaded coronavirus, the Axbridge Pageant is finally making its welcome return to Axbridge Square this August Bank Holiday weekend. And we can’t wait to celebrate!
The Axbridge Pageant is a community event that has been performed regularly since the inaugural 1967 celebration of the town’s history, and since then the pageant has been held every decade. The pageant is a huge historical re-enactment celebrating over 2000 years of Axbridge’s rich history.
The event brings the history of the town to life in a unique open-air costumed drama and covers life from the Romans to the present day. Ensuring that it highlights major events that have shaped Axbridge over time.
The first pageant performed in 1967 was in celebration of the newly formed by-pass along the former Strawberry Line Railway. However, it was such a success that the event is now held every 10 years.
If you’re looking to make a weekend out of it, why not book one of our 10 beautifully appointed bedrooms here at The Oakhouse Hotel in Axbridge. The hotel is situated within the square where the Axbridge Pageant is taking place therefore you will be perfectly positioned for all the weekend’s festivities.
Each of our rooms is individual in design, comfortable and cosy, just like the rest of the hotel. Additionally, all of our hotel rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV, WiFi, The White Company ® toiletries, tea and coffee making facilities including a Dolce Gusto coffee machine, mini bar fridge and complimentary water, as well as an Iron / Ironing board and hairdryer.
