PORLOCK Weir is the salty setting for its second Sea Festival tomorrow (September 9) when the harbour will be all at sea between 12 noon and 4pm.

The organisers say there will be something for all the family with music, activities and entertainment - including a “town cry” - and live theatre by the Porlock Pantomime and Drama Society.

A wide range of activities will include performances by the Original Sailors’ Hobby Horse, sea shanties by The Barnacle Buoys and the opportunity to create sea monsters with Wild Wellies. There will also be archery and kayaking with Exmoor Adventures.

Mike Leach will be displaying his wood carvings and there will be oyster shucking demonstrations by Porlock Bay Oyster Company, an RNLI stand, Exmoor Search and Rescue, National Coastwatch Institute, Exmoor Natural History Society and the National Trust.

Porlock Weir Gig Club will be in attendance and Porlock Sailing Club will decorate their boats in celebration of the event.

The event is being organised by Porlock Visitor Centre and manager Deborah Stanyon said: “We are delighted to be organising the second Porlock Weir Sea Festival, following the overwhelming success of the festival in 2022.
