#LikeALocal. A free Entry event held every year in Ottery St Mary, East Devon. The Flaming Tar Barrels are carried through the streets of the town to the delight of thousands of townsfolk and visitors, something that has become very well known throughout the years.
Ottery St. Mary is internationally renowned for its Tar Barrels – the event is said to have originated in the 17th century, and is held each year. Each of Ottery’s central public houses sponsors a single barrel. Held on November 4th, the barrels are soaked with tar and are lit outside each of the pubs in turn and once the flames begin to pour out, they are hoisted up onto local people’s backs and shoulders.
