What's on in Manadon

Devon, England

Manadon sits comfortably in Devon with a quiet charm that never feels quite as sleepy as it looks. We've got plenty of local gatherings ready for you to drop into without needing to book months ahead. The town has a way of surprising you with good food or a bit of live music on an ordinary Thursday. There are always people meeting up at the shops or in the parks, and you'll find your next plan hiding in plain sight. We keep things simple so you can wander around and stumble upon something that takes your fancy. Come say hello and see what's actually going on this week.
