People in town centres are brawling with people,

party like this there are all from different walks of life

and it's all happy and fun and then you go

home and get back to your normal day jobs.

But it all makes the day job more of a night shift

Yeah, they were coming across the field, right across there.

Jane and her staff were up all night.

Police were called to stop the hundreds turning into thousands.

The force helicopter flew above the farm.

We had cattle in this field which are now in the

shed because the fence is broken there

and end of the other end, where

back memories of 2009, when 4000 turned up here

Just real anger and the adrenaline was rushing because I was

so angry at the sheer recklessness of it all.

They just do not understand the damage they can cause

when they are en masse, and they think they just

have the right to go anywhere they like.

Things like that shouldn't really be happening.

People should have more respect when they come

down here to these sort places but, I think it's everyone trying to get

there and once you try to get back , you've ghad your pary and you're

just trying to get home sop you just stumble across

I don't think it's all done deliberately.

rave just 15 miles away near Amesbury the following day,

it's been quite an Easter weekend for the farmers and villagers around

India because of the high standards of nursing there.

They're expected to take up positions in Taunton.

But now, for the very first time the outside wall can

It's all part of demolition work taking plae as part of a 25 million

pound refurbishment project Lee Madan reports.

After years of fundraising and months of demolition work

knocking down the building that blocks it from view.

The Bristol Old Vic now stands exposed.

Behind us you can now see the original theatre wall.

When it was first built, it was hidden behind two houses

which stood here on King Street, owned by a Mr Foot and a Mr Gill.

If you wanted to get to the theatre, you had to knock on the door and ask

Depending who you ask, it was either because it was really

helpful to hide the theatre, because it was quite a secretive,

quite polemic activity to put to put theatre on,

and maybe it was just a bit of land that was available and they took

Either way, without Mr Foot and Mr Gill's cooperation

there would never have been in Old Vic.

Their houses have been be placed several times over the years,

meaning that the theatre itself has stayed hidden - until now.

But, despite the many rebuilds, parts of Mr Foot's house remain

We're finding little bits of his house still in existence actually,

because even though much of the 18th-century fabric was taken

down in the early 20th century, and of course, it's all gone again

We found a fireplace, bits of brickwork from his house,

so we're trying to bring his character alive again.

Maybe when people become and visit here next year when we're reopened,

we'll be able to tell the story of Mr Foot a little bit.

Not all of the money for this multi-million pound rebuild

The public will be asked to contribute to the final push

with donations this autumn, then the building work is due to be

Now, just before the weather, many of you may been looking

for the Easter bunny and eggs this weekend but there've been

reports of something very different in Somerset.

This photo of what looks like a big cat was taken on the Quantocks

They managed to get this snap before it disappeared.

Well, we did see a little bit of sunshine today,

but for most of us it has been largely cloudy.

I think as we head through the week, we should see a bit more sunshine.

We've got a few showers out there, but they are tending

to clear and they've been very isolated today.

As we go to tonight, skies will clear and, actually,

We got light winds and we could even get temperatures temperatures

a little bit lower than this in sheltered rural spots.

So, do be prepared for a touch of frost first thing tomorrow.

But, it's going to be a beautiful day, dry and bright,

a lot of sunshine, almost unbroken for many of us.

We might see a bit of fair-weather cloud builing

Light winds again, and I think in the sunshine, one

or two spots could hit 14, perhaps even 15 degrees.

So, it's staying rather settled as we head through this week and,

actually, there is very little rain in the forecast.

I think on Wednesday we'll see a widespread and quite severe frost,

temperatures could well dip below freezing in some rural spots.

By day, a lot of sunshine, light winds.

We'll see a little bit more cloud pushing in towards the tail end

of the week, so perhaps not as cold overnight and temperatures

Gosh, I thought we had seen the last of the frost. That's all for the

moment, we'll be back later with another date. By my.

Hopefully you managed to enjoy some good weather this Easter. It has not

been ideal but it has not been that bad. Pretty cold tonight. Sharp

frost on the way in role areas and across northern parts. The skies are

not clear just yet but they are starting to clear. By the end of the

night, those temperatures will tumble across Scotland, maybe as low

minus eight. No surprise this time of the year. We do get frost, but

this could be even damaging. Tomorrow morning, it is looking

sunny for most of us but the wind is light in the sun will be out. A

beautiful day
