What's on in Maidencombe

Devon, England

Coffee mornings that serve actual decent coffee. Quiz nights that get genuinely competitive (yes, even question 7). Markets where you'll find something better than the supermarket. Maidencombe doesn't do things by halves — check what's on this week and see for yourself. We're talking book clubs that actually finish the book, bingo nights that get surprisingly rowdy, film screenings in village halls with seats older than your grandad. The sort of events where half the entertainment is seeing who else shows up. No pretence, no airs and graces, just good local stuff happening near you.

The symposium explores the rich and evolving identity of Devon’s people from the Palaeolithic era to today. Through archaeology, history and cultural studies we will examine how geography, migration, trade, and socio-economic shifts shaped Devon’s distinct regional character.
