MAY
We started the year with a bang!… the White Horse Soapbox Derby took place on Saturday 20th May 2023
A practical introduction to STEM for young people, plus 20 teams of ‘brave’ competitors taking on the Steepest and Most Challenging Course in the UK, winding (hurtling) down the picturesque chalk escarpment above Westbury, Wiltshire.
Thank you Westbury and the thousands that came out to enjoy the Soapbox Derby. It was a brilliant event!
SEPTEMBER
The Wiltshire Chilli Fest will return on Saturday 23rd September 2023, 1pm-7pm, High Street, Edward Street & Soisy Gardens. Stalls from across the UK come year after year to offer up their spiciest, hottest and most delicious sauces and chilli products. This year Jamma de Samba, Mariachi way and the UK Chilli Queen will be entertaining the crowds, with the finale Chilli Eating competition also returning. We can’t wait to see you all at this FREE EVENT!
NOVEMBER
This year the Remembrance Service will fall on Sunday 12th November 2023. The town’s young cadets and a parade marshal from the Area Officer Selection Board make it a unique event to Westbury, as well as the hundreds that faithfully attend each year.
DECEMBER
Westbury Christmas Celebrations will go off with a bang this year on Saturday 2nd December 2023 with a Queen Tribute act. The market place will be packed full of great food and bars, while the High Street will have its usual winter market, funfair and choir singing. Most importantly, of course, the Christmas lights will be switched on at the earlier time of 5pm.
Westbury Town Council has an active events calendar throughout the year with a focus on community and family friendly things to do. In 2023, these range from the return of the Soapbox Derby and the Chilli Fest, through to the Remembrance Service in November and the very popular Christmas event at the beginning of December.
We will advertise all events through social media and our newsletters and on the Town Calendar.
