About Taunton Together
Taunton town centre was awarded £200,000 as
part of its recovery programme from COVID19.
We identified that offering experiences will be the
backbone of our recovery programme for Taunton
town centre and its businesses.
We are strongly and passionately supporting
activities like markets, live music, festivals trails and
exhibitions that will all help to encourage people
back to our town centre and help support our local
economy bounce back.
We hope you enjoy what Taunton has to offer over
2021 and look forward to offering a very warm
welcome on your arrival.

The Art Of Brian Rice:
60 Years Of Paintings And Prints
The exhibition will consist of more than 30 colourful
abstract artworks by painter-printmaker Brian Rice. Rice
studied at Yeovil College of Art in the 1960s. Following
several years of working as an artist in London and
embracing the ‘swinging sixties’ cultural revolution, Rice
moved back to the West Country to become a sheep
farmer. He ultimately returned to the studio and has a
d eri c
prolific body of artwork. His deep rooted connection to
the South West, and strong interest in archaeology and
a Fre
ce place, will be important to the exhibition
