Fairs & Festivals in North Devon

Festivals in North Devon cover music, food and drink…often all 3 at once!

The Appledore Book Festival is internationally renowned and has been running for over 10 years. This independent event punches well above its weight in terms of visiting authors and was set up author of Horrible Science, Nick Arnold.

Clovelly plays host to a number of festivals during the year. The largest of these is the Maritime festival where you’ll watch the yachts racing in the Clovelly Club Rally.

PigStock is a 2-day festival in May in fields next to the Big Sheep family attraction. There’s free entertainment for the children and a wide range of bands. Expect to eat in style with many of North Devon’s finest street food suppliers rocking up to keep everyone well fed.

Oceanfest blends a potentially intoxicating, eclectic and laid-back mix of quality music, exhilarating surf, action packed sports, locally sourced food and family‑friendly fun. It’s big enough to create a great party atmosphere, yet small enough to not be overwhelming.
