“Whats on in Salisbury?” you may ask. Why should I book a Salisbury hotel and visit this town? Well the answer is that there’s plenty on! Salisbury is a historic city but has a vibrant modern buzz to it. The Salisbury hotels are good and range from modern to historic and the city has plenty going for it.

One of the main events in the city is the international Arts Festival. It attracts visitors from all over the world and brightens up the city in May every year. There’s usually free entertainment in the Market Square on the Bank Holiday, and there’s special shows for children too. Most of the city’s venues are utilised including the City Hall, cathedral, Playhouse and the pubs. With a different set of themes each year you can be sure of something fantastic happening each year. With demand high, don’t leave looking for accommodation Salisbury too long. Finding good Salisbury hotels can top off your stay nicely.

Wilton House hold events throughout the year in their beautiful house and grounds. You can catch a classical music firework night, supercar day, Easter egg hunt and much more. If you don’t catch an event, the gardens and house are well worth a visit on their own. With an elegant Palladian Bridge in the grounds and a stunning Double Cube room inside, you won’t be disappointed. 

There are weekly farmer’s markets in the city on a Wednesday morning and a regular market every Tuesday and Saturday. Take time to browse the stalls and try some of the local produce. You can even try something new such as a bison burger from the West Knoyle bison farm stall.

There are plenty of pubs in the area, including the interesting haunch of venison – a old pub that has the skeleton of a hand on view. The hand was thought to have been parted from its cheating owner after a game of whist. There are pubs to suit all tastes from cosy ones with a real open fire to summery riverside ones where a shandy on the lawn is a pleasure.

The pubs also offer plenty of live music. Try the Winchester Gate, The Cloisters and the Old Ale House. As part of Salisbury Festival, most of the pubs take part in a live music weekend with all manner of acts. The town really buzzes with music enthusiasts coming out to support local bands.

Salisbury has lots to do so check out your accommodation Salisbury options and make sure you visit the city soon.
