Coming soon… been supporting the Mayor and Council events to get this off the ground.

As part of his mayoral charities, the Mayor is hosting the town’s very first beer and cider festival — and hopefully the first of many.

The event will take place on Saturday 28 March 2026 at the Strand Community Centre in Dawlish, and he has invited our fantastic local brewers to be part of it.

The event is in support of his chosen charities who this year are:

The sessions run on a Saturday from 11am- 2pm with a wide range of activities including cooking, messy play weekly planned themes and we always have a music workshop. We also try as much as possible to enjoy trips out.

We strive to foster independence, alleviate isolation, and enhance well-being initiatives making our community a place of inclusivity, empowerment, and genuine care
