History
Tidmouth Town Square has often served as a space for special events, such as performances by Allicia Botti and the children's snowman party.[1] The Great Composer also once held a special concert outside the town hall here.[2] The Tidmouth Market takes place here and is set up along the station platforms.[3]
During Christmas time, a Christmas tree stands outside the town hall. A temporary ice skating rink was once also set up nearby the station.[4]
After the skeleton of a Megalosaurus was discovered at the Sodor China Clay Pits, it was dug up by Marion and placed on a pedestal in front of the town hall, where it has since remained.[5] A special ceremony for its unveiling was held by Sir Topham Hatt and Sir Robert Norramby.[6] The skeleton was once temporarily removed for the unveiling of a sand sculpture of the Steam Team in the town square, though was later returned to its original position.[7]
