Enjoy Tavistock this summer!

There are lots of reasons to visit your local town this summer and you can be assured of a safe visit, with all the open spaces to escape to and explore, plus plenty of ways to continue being COVID-secure. The hanging baskets around the town look blooming marvellous and there are a number of new businesses to discover.

Our brand new and exciting summer trail – Tavistock Time Traders – is a family adventure for all. The Duke of Bedford needs help finding items for Goose Fair – located on trader cards throughout the town. Everyone receives an exclusive Tavistock Trader Card and goody bag plus 5 lucky participants will find prize-winning golden cards! In collaboration with Learn Devon, there will be workshops to design your own family coat of arms, and rounding off the holiday, the amazing Bubbleman and Bubble Faerie come to town on Monday 30 August. Moving into September, the town will be hosting a Cream Tea Festival on Sunday 12 September. Set to become an annual event, this is an occasion not to be missed with our very own Tavy tuff taking centre stage in the town’s first ‘Tuff-off’!

Now is also a great time to redeem those Tavistock gift cards from Christmas! Or pick one up for that special occasion from any participating business – using the ‘load this card’ scheme. Find out more and where to spend at: tavistockgiftcard.co.uk
