Sunday 24 September - Autumn Town Spruce-up

Autumn Spruce-up comes to Bideford.

It should be as good if not better than the last one.  So come on out and lend a hand.  Or if you don't fancy joining us maybe just give a bit of a tidy or weeding outside in your street.  If we all do a little it adds up.  Thank you.

Meet at 9am in Jubilee Square and working through until 1pm, but if you can only spare an hour, we will appreciate that too.  All ages welcome, although we do ask that under-18's are accompanied by a responsible adult.  We ask that you come along in sensible clothing and footwear suitable for grubby work.  For more information, a copy of our safety briefing or if you are part of an organisation and wish to be involved, please email  This email address is being protected from spambots.
