Around Buckfastleigh

'Around Buckfastleigh & South Brent' has ceased publication and I am no longer posting on this page. If anyone is interested in advertising in our 'Around Ashburton' directory please contact me on the Around Ashburton page. Thank you again everyone for all your support over the last 6 years. 🙂🙂

THANK YOU to everyone for your wonderful support. 'AROUND BUCKFASTLEIGH & SOUTH BRENT' has been such a success over the last 6 years thanks to the support of so many businesses, contributors and distributors. However, the workload with both directories (Buckfastleigh/South Brent and Ashburton) is becoming too much. I am finding I have absolutely no time for anything else and feel I need to get the work/life balance right – before I get too old and doddery! So, reluctantly, I have made the decision that the final edition of ‘Around Buckfastleigh & South Brent’ will be the July/August edition. A massive thank you to everyone for such wonderful support. Don't forget BUCKFASTLEIGH COMMUNITY NEWS for any local information. And to find out what's on around SOUTH BRENT have a look at the Old School Community Centre website. I will of course be continuing with 'AROUND ASHBURTON'. I have increased the rural distribution area and the directory is now delivered to 4000 homes and businesses. Thanks everyone 🙂🙂🙂

We are so pleased to announce that we will be opening our doors on Saturday 29th May.

A timetable will be available shortly for the half term week so please look out for that and we will keep posting updates on sessions and prices in the coming days and weeks before opening.

There will be restrictions so please bear with us while we adapt, however we aim to keep things as simple as possible.

We will only be admitting 30 people into each session and unfortunately showers/cubicles will not be available during the current restrictions, so please come beach ready with swimwear under clothes.
There is no booking system, it will be first come, first served.

The building will follow a one way system to stop people needing to pass each other.

Face coverings will be needed in the building and sanitiser will be available to use around the site.

Also we will not be providing a tuck shop so snacks and drinks will need to be brought in (no glass please).
