Annual Town Criers Competition for 2024
David Recardo hosted his very first Competition as Yeovil’s new Town Crier on Saturday 20 April 2024.
A total of 11 Town Criers from far and wide came to Yeovil to keep up the ancient tradition of crying and compete in the Annual Competition. Each competitor performed their hometown cry in the first heat. The second heat was a cry of their choice incorporating Wonders of Somerset in the presence of the Mayor, Cllr Andy Kendall.
Yeovil’s Best Crier for 2024 was awarded to Jeremy Holland from Cinderford.
