Behind the tradition

Behind the tradition

Fitz is live in Ottery St Mary, bringing you a flavour of the town's annual Flaming Tar Barrels.

The Tar Barrel tradition is hundreds of years old.

The exact origins are unknown but probably started after the gunpowder plot of 1605.

Fitz will be hearing from the people who know best, the locals of Ottery St. Mary.

After 7pm Fitz will be reporting into Mark Forest's show from the event.
