What's on in Dainton

Devon, England

Dainton is a quiet corner of Devon where the local noticeboard seems to know more about weekend plans than anyone does. With no big venues on the doorsteps, we rely on word of mouth and village halls popping up with ideas you couldn't have predicted yesterday. It's the sort of place where a sudden shower doesn't stop the fun, just changes the venue from the park bench to someone's garden party. We keep an eye on what's brewing nearby so you don't have to waste time hunting for things to do in the rain.
