    Shepton Mallet Facts – Did you know…

    1. On The Market

    About

    The first people moving to Shepton Mallet arrived in the Bronze Age. They began the town’s remarkable story. Nearby caves with mysterious markings, Roman settlers, Civil War, rebellion, Napoleonic prisoners, the Kray Twins, ghosts… It’s one of the most fascinating towns in the South West.

    There’s a lively events calendar and weekly market, which dates back to the Middle Ages. Plus some wonderfully eccentric and typically Somerset celebrations. The town is steeped in good taste, from local producers and independent shops to Shepton’s cider heritage.

    Leisure

    Small but mighty, Shepton has a good-sized population but retains a village feel. There are live performances at the Academy Theatre and also a leisure centre. It’s also the close to the Bath and Weston Show Ground, which hosts country shows, vintage/antique fairs, Truckfest and more.

    If you love history there’s no shortage of sites to explore including HMP Shepton Mallet, Britain’s most haunted prison, where thrill-seekers can spend the night.
