Beating the Bounds of Yate Common
After all the problems on Yate Common lately, here's some good news - an event for all the family.
Come
and join the Friends of the Common and the Yate Town Mayor. On Rogation
Sunday each May, an ancient custom, Beating the Bounds is practised on
The Common in Yate.
The Reverend, Town Mayor, Friends of the Common and local residents will walk the boundaries of The Common this coming Sunday, 21st May 2017.
Traditionally, children are turned upside down at the corners to teach them the boundaries of their Common, which they must protect.
Beating the Bounds of Yate Common starts at 3pm from the St Briavels Drive entrance of Yate Common. The walk is suitable for pushchairs and takes about 60 to 90 minutes.
