The Crediton Parish Church Flower Festival is one of the main fundraising events for the upkeep of Holy Cross and many people from our parishes work to make it a very special and memorable week.
The 2019 Festival has the intriguing title ‘Colours of the Wind’ and runs from 10am on Saturday 1st June until 5pm on Thursday 6th June.
Work towards the 2019 Flower Festival began as soon as the 2018 Festival ended.
Last years’ Festival was ‘In Our Element’ and if you would like to see photos of previous festivals and videos of how a car and a rhino got into the church then...
The residents of Woodbury will be trialling an additional recycling bag for the collection of cardboard from March.
Around 850 households in the village will be asked to collect their cardboard in a white foldaway collection bag instead of their green box and put the bag out at the kerbside with their other recycling containers on their usual recycling collection day.
Each household will receive a letter from East Devon District Council’s recycling team with more information about the delivery of the bags and a start date for the trial.
East Devon District Council’s Cabinet last night agreed to invest £1.1m in the development of a new Open Innovation Building at Exeter Science Park, in the Exeter and East Devon Enterprise Zone.
The investment will bring forward 20,000 square feet of space under one roof for growing small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) sectors.
Funding has been raised against future business rates income from the growing list of businesses seeking to establish offices and laboratories alongside leading regional science and...
A new Clapper Bridge has been installed over the Western Wella Brook, along with path and drainage improvements on the associated public right of way, which is part of both the Abbots Way and the Two Moors Way.
The project to make this happen has been led by Dartmoor National Park and is jointly sponsored by Totnes Ramblers and South Devon Ramblers.
There has been a need for a bridge at this location for many years. Last year following an aborted walk in the area due to the lack of a bridge, the walk leader, Steve Town, asked if Totnes Ramblers could try and make the...

Your guide to What's On in and around Exeter this weekend (4-6 January):
THEATRE
Robin Hood Until Saturday, Barnfield Theatre, Exeter The Exeter Little Theatre Company Panto! Head to Sherwood Forest and meet Robin and his Merry Men, outlaws robbing the rich and always landing themselves in trouble because of their terrible plans. Trying to keep them in line are Maid Marian and her Girlpower Gang, but the girls will have their work cut out for them unless both groups learn to work together to take on Nottingham’s meanest Snotty Notty and Sir Guy. http://www.barnfieldtheatre...
A “potentially life-saving” night shelter allowing rough sleepers to come in out of the cold, is proving popular in Exeter as night-time temperatures drop below zero.
Exeter City Council’s Night Shelter – renamed The Junction and situated in the former Spice Island restaurant in Magdalen Street – has been packed out over the last couple of nights as rough sleepers escape the bitter nights on the street.
The City Council activated its Severe Weather Protocol (SWEP) on Wednesday, with the temperature dropping below zero for three consecutive nights.
This year’s Northcott pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk really is a cracker! With a strong cast, pacy storyline, local references, great songs and plenty of laughs; Steve Bennett’s home-grown production proves that Exeter audiences love nothing more than a good panto to make the festive season complete.
Armed with arguably the most representative review panel in Devon, our two children, aged 5 and 10, we were oh-so-ready to do battle with the cruel Giant and encourage courageous Jack on his adventure to keep his family and village from destitution.
Footlights, the University of Exeter’s biggest musical theatre society that brought you The Phantom of the Opera (2016), The Producers (2017) and Singin’ in the Rain (2018) are proud to present OKLAHOMA! – an illustrious classic propelled by love, community and integrity.
Based on Lynn Riggs’ Green Grow the Lilacs, this harmonically rich and wildly symphonic blend of ballet, ballad and barn dance is a musical that takes an unblinking look at a community trapped in the American economic and social underclass.
At the turn of the century in Oklahoma Territory, the spirited...
