They’re inviting people in Exeter to come along for a comedy show on Sunday 18th February from Scotsman Mark Ritchie who is bringing his critically acclaimed tour ‘God Only Knows’ to Devon.
Mark performs in comedy clubs, theatres and churches...

This year’s series of services will culminate at Exeter Cathedral on Sunday, 17 December. Hospiscare’s Karen Turner said: “Everyone is invited to attend...

The team at Crediton Parish Church have to produce new themes and ideas each year, which will work as an exhibition with flowers. This year's Crediton Parish Church Flower Festival theme is no exception.
Intriguingly entitled 'What's the Point...', the team will be coaxing a rhino into church, with our outside broadcast crew taking photos and video from a safe distance.
Twelve months hard work goes into the planning and preparation for the Festival. If you wish to see how our talented (and brave) team...
The Crediton Parish Church Flower Festival is one of the main fundraising events for the upkeep of Holy Cross and many people from our parishes work to make it a very special and memorable week.

A new gargoyle in the shape of a Bishop’s mitre, marking the appointment of the first woman bishop in Devon, is to be unveiled this weekend.
The new gargoyle on the church of St Mary, Aylesbeare replaces one lost from the church decades ago, and joins the three remaining gargoyles on the 15th century tower.
