The 2020 Summer Exhibition
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War
this year's Summer Exhibition 'Soldiering On' will reflect village life in WWII and will honour those who served in the conflict.
A smaller exhibition will tell the story of the legendary Porlock Vale Riding School and Captain Tony Collings. Captain Collings was instrumental in founding the Horse of the Year Show and helped found the Badminton Horse Trials, riding in the first event and winning in 1950.
Dovery Manor Museum is a Learning Destination for the Childrens University.
