This project highlights the cultural link between the worlds most famous and successful group, and all of the places touched by The Beatles on their location filming tour across the south of England in the autumn of 1967. Then on Monday 11 September 1967 the Fab Four set off on their colourful Magical Mystery Tour Bus to the West Country from their homes in London.
At the time The Beatles were reeling from the recent death of their manager and friend Brian Epstein, but in an attempt to keep the group going forward, Paul McCartney decided to press ahead with the making of the group’s third film. Hence the tour idea, which took the famous foursome and their passengers to various places along the journey. Teignmouth and Plymouth in Devon were visited and there was also a narrow bridge and their much wider coach.. causing traffic pandemonium on route to Widdecombe Fair!
Eventually the tour reached Cornwall, calling in for ice creams at Bodmin before their eventual destination at the seaside resort of Newquay, which became their base. Each place on the route saw great excitement as the locals discovered exactly who had arrived in their neighbourhood!
