August 2011

Our principal agriculture and countryside event - held at Umberleigh Barton Farm, Umberleigh EX37 9DX.

Rowing, sailing, swimming, crabbing, model yachts and other local events.

In the West Country we are proud of our long tradition of racing pilot gigs. The sport's popularity is hardly surprising - gig racing today is exciting, strenuous and often downright dangerous, with the crews reaching speeds of 9 knots in fast-flowing tidal waters. So come along and cheer on the rowers. It will be an exhilirating day's racing.
Normal admission charges to village.

The week-long carnival sees thousands of local people, neighbouring communities and visitors join in the fun, with raft and kayak races, a carnival parade and a wheelbarrow race and parade just some of the entertainment.
