Knit and Natter

Do you like to knit? Or natter? We’ve had some funding from the government to run a welcome space over the winter, and we’re looking forward to opening a crafting group every Thursday in St. Maurice Church Hall.

More about Dean Cross

Devon, England

Dean Cross sits quietly in Devon where the local pubs and community halls usually hold the best of local shows. You can find a comedy night at one venue or a family play at another without needing to drive far. It is a small place that punches well above its weight for things to do on a weeknight. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you are not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening. We know exactly what is on this weekend because we live right here in the town.
