What's on in Nether Velly

Devon, England

Share:X / TwitterFacebookWhatsApp

Nether Velly sits quietly in Devon with the sort of charm that makes you want to linger over a cuppa. There are plenty of local gatherings to choose from, and the village hall usually hosts something sensible for families. Not bad for a spot so close to the sea. Even when the weather turns gloomy, there is always a reason to step inside and see what is on. A community group might be running a workshop, or perhaps a neighbour has organised a quiz night at the local hall. Near Here keeps track of it all so you do not have to hunt through flyers for the next bit of fun.

Spring Natural Farming Workshop – Focus on the Soil

Join Head Gardener Josh Sparkes and his team at The Collective at Woolsery's Birch Farm, for a two day course dedicated to learning about the importance of sustainable farming practices, soil health, and the benefits of natural farming and gardening methods. In this workshop you will learn how to make different fermentations for plant and soil health along with different methods of soil inoculation using microbes from your local surroundings. Never has there been such an important time to give people back the power to grow their own food and beautiful gardens and we aim to give you the skills and the confidence to do so without needing any expensive fertilisers or composts. On second day we can cover more of our practical methods for soil health. It will include how we build and amend our Japanese raised beds for planting for the season. There will be an in-depth discussion on spraying and soil drenches and the tools we use to do so. We will also build and start a Biochar burn and give a practical demonstration on how to charge it. There will also be an IMO placement demonstration where we will place an IMO box in the woods to collect soil microbes.

Growing Perennial Vegetables – The Future of Farming and Food

We’re excited for you to join us for a very special event at Birch Farm, of The Collective at Woolsery, marking the end of our first full year growing perennial vegetables at scale and developing them as a viable and delicious food source. At Birch Farm, we believe perennialfoods will play a crucial role in building resilient, biodiverse farming systems in the face of a changing climate. By integrating Food Forest principles and perennial growing systems into our existing market garden model—rooted in Natural Farming and agroforestry—we aim to inspire others to reimagine how we grow, cook, and eat. Why Attend? Over the past year (2025), we’ve been on a journey of discovery—experimenting with a wide range of perennial vegetables, collaborating with chefs, and learning firsthand about their potential in the field and the kitchen. This event is a chance to see the process in action, taste the results, and join a growing community of growers, chefs, and food lovers who are excited by the possibilities of perennial crops. What to Expect: Reflections from the Field: What worked, what didn’t, and what we’ve learned about growing perennials in a market garden setting. Tasting & Cooking Demos: Sample dishes prepared with perennial vegetables by our Head Chef Toby Neal, alongside Jack Feeny of No Mise en Plastic—showcasing new flavour profiles and cooking techniques.

Yellow Welly Cobble Wobble

We’re delighted to announce the return of the famous Yellow Welly Cobble Wobble: a challenging off-road run taking in the epic scenery and infamous hills of the Clovelly Estate – all to raise funds for Clovelly RNLI. You will cover around 12 miles of North Devon terrain, enjoying special access to the Estate and a chance to see areas that are normally closed off to the public. From gentle undulations through plantations and meandering woodland trails to challenging climbs and technical descents, the course promises an experience you’ll never forget. You will run through carpets of bluebells in the ancient woodland of Brownsham Woods, reaching dizzying elevations before negotiating the challenging pebbles at Mouth Mill Beach. You will climb from the high cliffs of the North Devon coastline to the clear waters of Clovelly Harbour, with stunning views of Lundy and Exmoor in the distance, before the calf-killing final challenge: a sprint finish up through the famous cobbled street. The run has won many fans locally thanks to a winning combination of beautiful scenery, ocean views, exclusive estate access, and some fun surprises. Entry is just £30, although we’d love it if runners took the opportunity to get sponsored on behalf of Clovelly RNLI. All funds raised go to support our vital work saving lives at sea.
