Weekend Highlights at the Big Sheep Outdoor Arena. Horrible Histories with Beans on Toast

The BIG Sheep continue to welcome 'ewe' back with open arms! Their fantastic new socially distanced open air show arena is proving to be a great success with events for the whole family, from toddlers dancing at Jiggy on the Farm, "theatre goers" enjoying performances organised by The Plough Arts Centre and "music lovers" soaking up the sounds of local bands organised by The Palladium Club Bideford. Here is what's happening this weekend.

OUTDOOR THEATRE... Friday 14th August
Horrible Histories present Barmy Britain Open Air Theatre from the West End with The Plough Arts Centre

Horrible Histories: We all want to meet people from history. The trouble is everyone is dead! So Horrible Histories is bringing them live to the stage! Can you beat battling Boudicca? Would you be shaken or stirred by Richard III? Will you lose your heart or head to horrible Henry VIII? Can Parliament survive gunpowder Guy? Would you stand and deliver to dastardly Dick Turpin? Escape the clutches of Burke and Hare and move to the groove with party Queen Victoria!

It’s the horrible history of Britain with the nasty bits left in – to entertain the whole family this summer!

Looking back on North Devon Lockdown Covid19 Day 126

It should have been the Woolsery Show today, sadly  the event was cancelled due to Covid19 so I'm having a nostalgic look back at some photos from 2008, the first time the show relocated from Downland Farm to Clovelly Court. The first Woolfardisworthy "Colt Show", now the Woolsery Show, was held in 1892 and apart from the war and foot and mouth it has continued to be a draw for locals and visitors. It is now held annually on the last Monday in July. Looking forward to Woolsery Show 2021.
