THE Dunster by Candlelight Festival takes place on December 5 and 6. Stilt-walkers lead a procession through the cobbled streets of the Somerset village to light the lanterns, which take the place of electric street lamps for two evenings every year.
The village’s medieval streets throng with carol singers, choirs, and street entertainers, as well as food and craft stalls. Profits from the sale of the festival programme go to the local St Margaret's Hospice.
No cars are allowed in the village during these two evenings, so visitors get there on one of the special buses (£3 per person) which leave from neighbouring Minehead, Watchet, Wheddon Cross, and Porlock.
