Events in Salisbury
Having lived in Salisbury for some time I find I am very priveliged that I have so many amazing walks and ancient sites to look at whether its Stonehenge, the amazing walkways ways that are over massive tracts of Wiltshire’s beautiful countryside, or the beautiful Sarum castle that hosts jousting and re-enactments at varying times of the year.
Wiltshire is also place of the Salisbury International Arts Festival at the last part of May through to the start of June that always has some amazing performances and fun activities set up for anyone needing to take part. If like to travel however and don’t want to wait until then I know there is the Budapest Spring Festival coming up at the end of March at the beginning of April that would be of worth a look with an equally dramatic ancient city.
Wiltshire is known for its walks and biking routes with some amazing scenery to travel through. One of the roman roads carries you all the way down to Cornwall which lets anyone on a shoe string to get on their bike and ride. As we steadily move towards spring time the number of beautiful hot air balloons floating through the air grows, with most offering the chance of people booking for a ride.
There are lots of beautiful villages around Wiltshire with local community life taking a hand in how the areas grow, this ensures that there is frequently something going on in the area. Its worth looking at local newspapers to find out Whats on in Wiltshire, or going on the net and looking at one of the many community information sites online.
The ancient side of Salisbury and the surrounding area has been further enhanced by the efforts of the brilliant archaeological team that is situated on the outside of Salisbury. With one of its people on the team of the renowned “Time Team” from channel 4, they are slowly taking back the layers disguising what has been before us. several of their finds can be seen in the Salisbury Museum which has a brilliant collection of ancient artefacts.
You can find information about the area by going into the Salisbury Visitor Information centre and speaking to the people there, they will help inform you of things that are occurring at the time, or point you in the correct route if you need to view specific things in the area. As I said in the beginning of this article I am extremely lucky to be in Wiltshire and only recommend that you find out what is accessible before you come so that you can allow yourself enough time.
