Crewkerne is preparing to hoist its colours high this summer with Flagship Crewkerne, a bold, month-long outdoor exhibition transforming the town centre into a vibrant celebration of local heritage, creativity, and community spirit. Drawing inspiration from Crewkerne’s extraordinary history of making, from cloth production to world-renowned sailcloth, webbing, engineering, and textile innovation, the project invites residents of all ages to rediscover the stories, skills, and industries that shaped the town.

From 25th September to the end of October, artist-made and community-created flags will be displayed along the high street and across key heritage sites. Each flag will tell a story linked to the past, present or future of that site, from the Clarks shoe factory to the wooden rocking horses carved in the town.

Flagship Crewkerne is led by Open Doors Somerset and Creative Crewkerne, with support from:
Crewkerne Museum & Heritage Centre
Boat Building Academy, Lyme Regis
Crewkerne Business Network
Dawes Twine Works, West Coker
Crewkerne Town Council
Rotary Club, Crewkerne District
Local schools and community organisations.
