What's on in Okehampton

Devon, England

Share:

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.

Coffee Morning

Coffee Morning

Coffee Morning These coffee mornings, happen at the same time as Hatherleigh market and provides a space to retreat for hot drinks and delicious food when you’ve done the shopping. Having run for many years, they are a familiar drop in for many and provide a time and space to catch up with friends, especially for those a bit isolated or living alone. They are hosted by different groups each week who take the opportunity for fund raising for their own causes.
