"La Boheme” is directed by Karen Gillingham.

After years of experience (English National Opera, Welsh National Opera, Royal Opera House and Glyndebourne) in

presentation of this melodramatic tale.

Duck Race

Sponsor a duck and follow its progress in the famous race through the culvert and out across “moat meadow” next

to ancient St. Mary's Church. A dry spring four years ago created doldrum like conditions with competitors unwilling to

leave the shelter of the culvert. However, heavy pre weekend rains might equally create a white water event that

has us rescuing the ducks from the tidal reaches of Bridgwater Bay – we're hoping for the mid-flow option.

Price: £1.00 per duck

Prize for the winning Duck: Andrew Barclay Duck (sufficient to feed 4)

Beer Festival

The Stag's Head is of course central to the whole event.

Acoustic Music

Queen Camel Music Night offer the best music value in the area with their “last Thursday night of the month” show at

the village hall. They translocated to Yarlington seamlessly four years ago to provide a stunning array and variety of

musical skills throughout the weekend.
