Exeter’s Wyvern Barracks is trying to trace a lady who contacted the base with concerns about buying her ticket for its upcoming open-air concerts – because the Commanding Officer now wants to invite her to attend as his VIP guest.
The lady, who did not leave her details, rang the Barracks a few weeks ago to say she wanted to go to one of the ‘100 Years Behind the Red Brick Wall’ events in early July, but did not feel happy about buying a ticket online through the Eventbrite website.
Her call highlighted the fact that many potential ticket-buyers could be deterred by the...
AS if running a busy beef and arable farm, as well as one of Exeter’s only butcher’s shops, wasn’t enough, local farmers Neil and Sally Grigg are soon to be opening their gates to the public, as part of the national Open Farm Sunday scheme.

Teignbridge has a new campaign to help curb fly-tipping and is telling people to ‘check who you pay to take it away’.
Paying someone can seem like the easiest and quickest way to get rid of rubbish, but if you’re not checking out the legitimacy of who takes it away, there’s a big chance it’ll be fly-tipped, and you’re the one who could be fined.
Fly tipping is illegal. It’s dangerous, unsightly and harmful to the environment and affects the quality of life for many residents. In 2016/2017 Teignbridge collected around 500 tonnes of fly-tipped rubbish from 939 incidents...
