Charlotte Smith visits a Christmas farmers' fair at Sedgemoor Auction Centre.

Charlotte Smith joins farmers at the South West Winter Fair at Sedgemoor Auction Centre for their Christmas celebrations.

It's an early start for farmers across the SouthWest as they bring cattle, poultry and sheep to show at Sedgemoor Auction Centre. The Winter fayre is a chance for farmers to win trophies and for hundreds to meet, catch up on news and celebrate Christmas. Some of the animals sold today will be destined for the Christmas dinner table. Charlotte Smith revisits this important hub at the festive time of year to see how this community celebrates. 

Producer: Anne-Marie Bullock.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
