James Allen 
Celebratory 
Walk 

Cancelled due to adverse weather conditions  Unveiling will still take place at 2pm at Cemetery

 Join the procession to honour James Allen, the Snowdrop King
We will be at the cemetery for the unveiling of the Obelisk at 2pm

Sunday 20th February, leaving at 1:00pm from
Highfield House, Park Road, Shepton Mallet (see map) 

Meet at 12.50 to join the walk
Each year we hold a procession, from James Allen's final home to his resting place in the Shepton Mallet Cemetery, and plant snowdrops on his grave. It's a colourful, lively and celebratory procession passing right through the centre of town - just over half a mile long.
