Wake up to Ilfracombe - in glorious North Devon
Home / Events & Festivals / North Devon Festival 2008
The North Devon Festival is rapidly establishing itself as one of the key festivals in the UK. It is a celebration of the rich and diverse cultural life in North Devon, with a wide range of activities that reflect the character of the region.
The festival is probably unique in the UK as it includes not only top quality arts and entertainment, but also many events associated with the people and the place, those things which residents and visitors love about the natural beauty of the area. They include heritage, community, lifestyle, sports and horticultural activities.
Every year there has been a great leap in the quality, the number of events, the number of local communities and the range of organisations involved in the project.
“...enthusiastic communities and national events... ”
