Britain's What's On Event Guide
Downham Market: Town Crier on steps of the Town Hall
Heritage Open Day: A Proclamation to open the event The Downham Market Town Crier, Ray Wales is unfortunately not available on the day but another Town Crier has agreed to step in.
Mike Wabe, the Watton Town Crier and official Crier for Norwich Pride is a member of both the Ancient & Honourable Guild of Town Criers and the Loyal Company of Town Crier.
With the coming of modern communications such as radio, television and the Internet, you might think that the Town Crier would become extinct. Not so, and today there are about 250 Town Criers around the country, and they are in great demand for civic ceremonies, charity functions, tourism events, weddings and commercial advertising, where their colourful livery, imposing presence and historical significance are greatly valued.
