The market town has been supporting local families and visitors to the area for centuries, and there are lots of places to eat and drink if you feel like a night off from cooking. A Victorian music hall in the centre of town offers a calendar of events, and you can certainly find a few minutes to view the latest exhibition at the Gallery on the Green - a former phone box that now houses the world's smallest public art gallery!
