Saxton Town and Harbour
Entertainment: The Museum is a fascinating, if gloomy, venue to provide enlightenment and entertainment. Of the many exhibits, The Saxton Monster, Anglo-Saxon helmet and Saxton Skeleton are worthy of note. The latter is an eerie sight; a mystery corpse, found exposed in undergrowth in The Carrion Wood. No-one, not a soul, knows the identity of the stranger.

Also in the museum, be sure to view period footage of the town in the film room, or try one of the new 'interactive panels', installed by the Hadden Corporation in recent times.

If you are looking for something more lively, we heartily recommend an evening at The Bear. Weekends often see the ancient Inne packed with drunken revelers; singing sea shanties, folk songs or remembering a twice told tale or ghost story. If visiting the town in late April, you should not miss the towns May Day Fayre. In olden times, the fayre provided an opportunity for trade and exhibition of farm animals and machinery, but recent times have seen an increase in New Age stalls, fortune telling and other esoterica. Food is provided by local handyman, Bob Tawny. Roasts are his specialty.
