North
Devon Focus Coast & Country Chronicle
is
a local community page for North Devon news or coast and countryside
media releases. We are proud to have been promoting North Devon
and the Bideford Bay area since 2002. We also welcome submissions
from North Devon Local Event organisers. We would like to take
this opportunity to thank you all for visiting the North Devon
Focus site, sadly due to Covid19 many of the annual events were
cancelled in 2020 and 2021 or did not return in 2022. Traditional
annual events returned in 2023 along with a host of new and diverse
events so normality has returned and we can all look forward to
a brighter "Event Full" 2024. The listing is free
for anyone wishing to promote, local village/church events, charity
or non-profit-making fund raising organisations. It is also free
for local country markets, North Devon musicians, North Devon
Arts and festival organisers who wish to promote gigs, events
or exhibitions.
You
can follow regular media releases and blogposts on our mobile
friendly BLOG,
view more seasonal photos of the North Devon Coast and Countryside
and events throughout the year on our Instagram
