Live Music

West Devon Folk Choir

West Devon Folk Choir has brought together people of all ages and abilities since 2009 to learn and perform traditional and newly composed folk songs. West Devon Folk Choir performs in many local venues. They have provided the backbone of choirs for local winter events singing carols in churches and wassailing orchards. A great relationship has developed over the years with Devonport Community Choir. The choir have had a few exchange visits where the standard and quantity of the cream teas threatened to eclipse the singing! In 2017 some members travelled to Craon, France, to sing at a special twinning celebration. The choir have travelled across Dartmoor to sing special concerts at Buckland In The Moor and Morwellham Quay as well as outdoor singing on Bluebell Sunday at Okehampton Castle.

More about Okehampton

Devon, England

Okehampton sits in Devon like a quiet stone in the road, and The Arthur Westlake Museum has been telling stories there for decades. You can wander through its halls without needing to shout above the rain. It's easy to get stuck on one side of town, but we keep things moving with art shows and local displays that pop up regularly. Near Here makes sure you know what is going on before you've even finished your tea.
