There’s usually free entertainment in the Market Square on the Bank Holiday, and there’s special shows for children too. Most of the city’s venues are utilised including the cathedral, Playhouse, City Hall and the pubs. With a different set of themes each year you can be sure of something fantastic happening each year. With demand high, don’t leave looking for accommodation Salisbury too long. Finding good Salisbury hotels can top off your stay nicely.

Wilton House hold events throughout the year in their beautiful house and grounds. You can catch a classical music firework night, Easter egg hunt, supercar day and much more. If you don’t catch an event, the gardens and house are well worth a visit on their own. With a beautiful Palladian Bridge in the grounds and a stunning Double Cube room inside, you won’t be disappointed.

There are weekly farmer’s markets in the city on a Wednesday morning and a regular market every Tuesday and Saturday. Take time to browse the stalls and try some of the local produce. You can even try something new such as a delicious bison burger from the West Knoyle bison farm stall.

There are plenty of pubs in the area, including the historic haunch of venison – a pub that has the skeleton of a hand on view. The hand was thought to have been parted from its cheating owner after a game of whist. There are pubs to suit all tastes from cosy ones with a real open fire to summery riverside ones where a shandy on the patio is a pleasure.

The pubs also offer plenty of music gigs. Try the Old Ale House, The Cloisters and the Winchester Gate. As part of Salisbury Festival, most of the pubs take part in a live music weekend with all manner of acts. The town really buzzes with plenty of music enthusiasts coming out to support local bands.
