On a similar note, 'Art On The Vines' runs from Friday, 29 September to Sunday, 1 October at Wraxall Vineyard. This promises to be an interesting blend of art and viticulture, set against the backdrop of the scenic vineyard.

For families with young aspiring drivers, the Bath & West Showground is hosting 30-minute young driver sessions on Saturday, 30 September. It's an educational and fun way for youngsters to get a feel for driving under controlled circumstances.
