Welcome to Buckfastleigh.
We want you to enjoy your day out in Buckfastleigh.
Event parking is on the Devonia Sheepskins site and we would ask that you come into the town via Buckfast Road to help with the flow of traffic. Parking is £2 and we will be able to take payments by card, but please try to bring cash.
The bus stop is in the centre of town, so also check out the bus times from Newton Abbot, Ashburton and Totnes or Ivybridge and Exeter.
In addition to the event, you can also take a stroll down Fore Street. The street has been transformed with Christmas lights and trees, so please take a wander and support our independent shops and cafes.
The Doe, which will be open from 9am until late. Their takeaway hatch will be serving filter coffees, tea and hot chocolates and vegan stuffed flatbreads. Inside the fire will be on, freshly baked cakes and coffee and the bar will be open.
The Wool Hub at the bottom of the street, will also have a drop-in Advent wreath workshop, whilst materials last, from 10am until 4pm.
Slightly out of the centre of town on the Old Totnes Road, the Dyno Climbing centre will also be open from 12pm until 6pm for bouldering and roped climbing.
Event Information

The event will be held over two locations in Buckfastleigh.

There are a couple of car parks in Buckfastleigh although space tends to be limited, so we advise heading to the official event parking. Please respect our local residents and ensure that you park your car appropriately.
-
The Town Hall is spread over two floors - the top floor is accessed via a staircase but there is also access to a stair lift for anyone who needs it.
The Brew Hub is all on one level.
-
Yes! We want to make this a day out for the family and so we will be offering craft activities at both venues for children.
However, as the town hall is over two floors and the space will be busy, we would ideally prefer it that prams are left (where possible) in the allocated space on entrance to the town hall.
-
You are welcome to bring your dog although we ask for them to be on a lead at all times at both events. Also, it goes without saying to help keen out streets from and pick up always.
-
We have over 40 traders in the town hall and 20 food and drink traders in The Brew Hub.
-
There will be a wood-fired sauna in Victoria park for the day - you can book your space here.
Buckfastleigh Swimming Pool will also be open, offering cold water swims to anyone who dares to brave the icy waters!
