North Devon Festival
Various locations
June 3 - 27

Several of the events in this year's festival are inspired by the unique environment of the area that is recognised across the world for its landscapes, wildlife and culture. The dramatic North Devon coast is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and sits next to the sweeping moorlands of Exmoor National Park. Both these areas and North Devon as a whole are included in the UK’s first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
