Chulmleigh Old Fair
www.chulmleigh.org/

Tuesday 22nd to Saturday 26th July 2008 - Chulmleigh Old Fair
Chulmleigh Devon EX18
From 6.30 pm Tuesday

Chulmleigh Old Fair has taken place every year since King Henry III granted a Royal Charter to the Town in 1253.  Even during the darkest days of two world wars, Chulmleigh managed to maintain this historic event.

 

The fair always starts at 6.30pm, on the Tuesday evening following the 22nd July. The opening of the fair is followed by the ancient money scramble, although the coins are no longer heated until red hot!

 

A large white glove symbolising, the King’s gauntlet, is paraded through the town by the Chief Herald, before being displayed from the Town Hall throughout the Fair which ends at midnight Saturday.  There is a different programme of events each day

 

Wednesday 23rd is the main Fair Day. A country and craft market, with about 60 stalls is held in the streets.  FREE car parking nearby, also Sheep Show, Dog Show, Vintage Vehicles and Flower Show.

 

Chulmleigh Old Fair is run by a committee of volunteers, with any profits used to keep admission charges to a minimum and to provide the generous money prizes which are awarded to those taking part in various events and competitions. Many events are FREE.

 

A Heritage Lottery grant enabled an archive to be created to record the history of the Fair. It contains over 1500 photographs in the, allegedly, biggest scrapbook in the world, and is a good source for those researching their family and local history.  

FREE admission to the archive at Chulmleigh Library - visit www.devon.gov.uk/libraries  for normal library opening hours.

Crediton Farmers Market
www.creditonfarmersmarket.com/

Saturday 5th July 2008 - Crediton Farmers Market
Market Square Crediton Devon EX17
10 am - 1 pm

Held on the first Saturday of every month between 10 am and 1 pm, Crediton Farmers' Market takes place on the new Market Square in Crediton, which was designed and built with the market in mind.  

With a wide range of organic and conventional produce available, including meat, fish, seasonal fruit and vegetables, dairy products, cakes, plants, apple juice, cider, pottery, cards and woven baskets, and with virtually all stallholders living less than 5 miles from the market, Crediton has one of the most local farmers' markets in the county.  

Although we do have to occasionally look further afield in order to keep the market as fresh and interesting as possible, produce does not travel more than around 30 miles at most, and the result is one of the finest farmer's markets in the county, a fact recognised by the readers of Devon Life magazine who recently voted Crediton Farmers' Market Best Market of the Year for the second time in three years.

The Lamb Inn Sandford Crediton Devon EX17

Fed up with having nowhere to perform? Looking for fresh opportunities to perform locally with like-minded people? Then the CRAMP Open Mic Sessions are designed with you in mind.

The sessions - which take place on the last Friday of each month at The Lamb Inn, Sandford, near Crediton (8pm-11pm) - have been running since April 2005, and they just keep getting better and better.  With people coming from as far afield as Totnes, Newton Abbot, Honiton and Tiverton each month, the word is spreading rapidly. But don't just take our word for it, come and experience it for yourself! Novices, as well as experienced performers of all ages and abilities welcome; just turn up and tell us how and what you would like to perform. 

So, whether you’re a solo singer/songwriter, a folk duo, a sitar player, a musician looking for a band, a poet, a storyteller, or simply a keen fan of live original music, come and join us at the next session!

An Evening of Clairvoyance with T J Higgs

Friday 25th July 2008 - An Evening of Clairvoyance with T J Higgs
New Hall Barrington Street Tiverton Devon EX16 6QP
Doors Open 7.30 pm, Show 8 pm

Celebrity clairvoyant takes to Tiverton stage again!  The country’s leading female psychic medium will be back in Tiverton in July, following a sell-out appearance in November. 

TJ Higgs has become a celebrity psychic following a career of accurate predictions and readings, TV appearances and stage tours across the UK. She is a star of television’s ‘Psychic Private Eyes’ investigating unsolved crimes alongside well-known mediums Colin Fry and Tony Stockwell.  She describes her mediumship as a natural gift that she has nurtured since childhood, and devotes her career not just to television and the media but to psychic development, workshops and lectures.

“This year has been a busy one touring the country with Colin Fry performing to crowds of up to 3,500 people,” she said. “I rarely have the opportunity to perform in Devon, and I’m greatly looking forward to coming to Tiverton again.”  In November, the New Hall sold out and the full house thoroughly appreciated the readings on stage. She describes herself as the ‘comedium”, and uses humour to relax the audience.

She takes the stage performances as seriously as one-to-one readings, and is highly aware of the emotions and sensitivity of the guests who attend her public performances, delivering readings that comfort people about friends and relatives who may have passed away. “It is not uncommon for people to have a loved one who passed over in tragic circumstances,” she explained. “ It’s rewarding to help reassure them that people’s lives have meaning and carry on.”

Among TJ Higgs’ public achievements are appearances on Richard & Judy giving a crystal reading on Charles and Camilla’s wedding, correctly predicting the top 3 on ITV’s X Factor, being reported for a life-saving prediction by the Daily Express.

Advance tickets are available for £10 by calling 01884 255823, email info@psychic-nights.co.uk or at the website www.psychic-nights.co.uk. Group discounts may be available.

Following the huge success of last year’s event which attracted an estimated 10,000 visitors, the event in July this year has been expanded to a full two-day interactive festival and fair, held within the grounds of the prestigious Wellington School

On display and ready for tasting will be everything from honey, chocolates and preserves, to locally produced meats, cheese, cider and beer. And alongside these delicious stalls will be children’s play areas, music and entertainment, hog roasts and cooking demonstrations by guest and celebrity chefs.

Be sure to make a trip to Wellington on 5th and 6th July and ‘dig in’ to the best of the region at this phenomenal event. It’s going to be finger lickin’ good!

Get your teeth into this………

2008 sees a huge collection of stalls and entertainment for all the family with a children’s procession and visitor competitions right from the start.

Local Produce Market 
Over 60 stalls displaying an enormous array of produce for you to sample and enjoy.

Farmers Market Gazebos

True Foodie Demonstrations
See how some of the top chefs seem to ‘throw together’ some fantastic snacks and meals. Demonstrations will be given throughout each day on a live kitchen stage with giant plasma screens. Full details of the guest and celebrity chefs will be updated on this site shortly.
