What's on in Plainmoor

Devon, England

Plainmoor sits quietly in Devon where the air is crisp and the pace is slower than a snail on a rainy Tuesday. There are usually some local gigs or market stalls popping up near the village green without anyone needing to shout about it. The community hall often hosts a family-friendly film night that makes the whole street feel like one big house party. Near Here keeps track of what's going on so you don't have to trawl through a dozen different websites on a Sunday evening.

2026-04-18 09:30 - Messy Church

Time: Saturday, 18 April 2026 at 09:30Details: Messy Church is a once-a-month time when families come together to enjoy being together for friendship, fun, food, and a focus on the Bible. Its aim is to build a community where we can provide a first step to getting to know Jesus together. It’s called Messy Church because, yes we do some messy crafts, but mainly because life is messy. You don’t have to wait until you’ve got it all sorted before you come. God meets us where we are 'in the chaos". / / Messy Church is aimed at families with children between the ages of 3 and 11, but younger and older are welcome. It is an event for children and their parents and carers together.Location: Paignton Baptist Church, Winner StreetPostcode: TQ3 3LN
