A free brochure publicising summer events in Barnstaple has been produced by the Flourishing Barnstaple team, and is available free from today (Wednesday 18 June).

After the success of Barnstaple’s Christmas brochure, the Flourishing Barnstaple team has worked with the town's events group and reached out to local organisations to advertise their summer events. Packed full of an array of events and activities, the brochure is available online, from the Flourishing Barnstaple stall in the Barnstaple Pannier Market on Friday 27 June, or in the following locations from this week:

The brochure includes over 150 events taking place in Barnstaple over the summer months, starting with Diversity, TheatreFest and Refugee Week events and concluding with the Barnstaple Fair and Carnival in September.

Cultural Producer, Lee Baxendale said “ With so many events happening across the town, including performances, workshops, family events and much more, it’s great to be able to pull them all together in one place. Barnstaple has a lot to offer members of the community and tourists alike, and this has been a great opportunity to showcase what is going on in the town."

The brochure has been created by  Flourishing Barnstaple and Barnstaple Events team, which is made up of events organisers and venues from across the town, who meet to develop opportunities to work together in creating a strong cultural output for Barnstaple. More information on how to get involved in this group is available by emailing cutlure@northdevon.gov.uk.

Flourishing Barnstaple is a North Devon Council initiative funded by the governments Cultural Development fund and administered by Arts Council England.
