The Sealed Knot Society re-enacted scenes from the Monmouth Rebellion.

Museum education official Julia Hodson brought artefacts from military aircraft, and diaries and personal records relating to wartime.

Mike Penn chatted about American jeeps from Haynes Motor Museum in Sparkford and took BBC Somerset Sound's Jo Phillips for a spin in one!

She broadcast her morning show live from the school.
