Tuesday 5th July 2022 saw Devizes welcome the Birmingham 2022 Queen’s Baton Relay to the town as the baton started its second-day journey on its way to Birmingham.
Despite an early start hundreds turned out to line the route and cheer on the Batonbearers. Starting in the Market Place at 8am, the Queen’s baton took a journey through the town on a horse-drawn dray towards the Kennet & Avon Canal and then travelled by boat and on foot down the towpath towards the famous Caen Hill Locks.
