Friends of Mincinglake is a community group, under the umbrella of Transition Exeter, who aim to empower local people to use and become involved with the management of their local valley park. Initial activities have centred around the community orchard and have included an apple juicing day and an apple tree adoption and wassail. The group aims to engage residents in “green gym” activities around the park by giving them a sense of ownership for their local green space.

Chulmleigh Old Fair has taken place every year since King Henry III granted a Royal Charter to the Town in 1253.
Even during the darkest days of two world wars, Chulmleigh managed to maintain this historic event.
The fair always starts at 6.30pm, on the Tuesday evening following the 22nd July. The opening of the fair is followed by the ancient money scramble, although the coins are no longer heated until red hot!
A large white glove symbolising, the King’s gauntlet, is paraded through the town by the Chief Herald, before being displayed from the Town Hall throughout the Fair which ends at midnight Saturday.

Welcome to the Devon Community Composting Network (DCCN) Website. Sadly DCCN is no longer funded by the local Authorities after 20 years due to cuts. DCCN has been involved for years at looking at community composting, and has also found a specific niche in composting food waste – from pioneering work done with Proper Job in Chagford – through to developing compost systems with the Compost Doctors.
