Throughout the summer, various local organisations hold
fetes, barbecues, town band playing around harbour etc. on the Harbour Head,
which, particularly during the month of August, is in use at least once or
twice a week for those purposes, usually on a Thursday or Saturday.
For an up to
date of what is going to happen look at “The Gate” down on the square on the
corner of Commercial Road and Shute Lane.
