Local History

We are group led and are mainly interested in local history. We have visited a number of local sites of historical interest including Bickleigh Castle, Hembury Fort, a medieval farmhouse on Dartmoor and Spicelands Quaker Meeting House to name a few. 

Some of our group are very knowledgeable but others have very little history knowledge and have joined to learn. 

Days & Times

 2nd Thursday of the month in the afternoon. We do not meet in January.

    A comedy magician. Basically, if all the tricks work that’s the magic, but if they fail spectacularly, that’s the comedy. The main aim of his show is to keep the audience laughing, and when the moments of sheer impossibility and amazement come, it hits the audience right between the eyes!
