Sidmouth’s Folk Week will see some changes this year to where the trading stalls are sited along the Esplanade, in order to provide more room for performers to entertain the thousands of people who attend the event.

The drums in Devon are beating a little louder as Exeter Chiefs moved back into second spot in the Aviva Premiership with an impressive victory over play-off rivals Wasps at Sandy Park.
Unlike some other venues where they feel the need to crank up the atmosphere somewhat artificially, Sandy Park brought it’s own unique crescendo of noise on a decisive day in English rugby’s top flight.
Virtually from start to finish, Rob Baxter’s side dominated proceedings – avenging last month’s European exit at the hands of Wasps – with a powerful and workmanlike display.
Sunday 22nd May at 4.00 p.m. St. Margaret’s Church, Topsham

Defending champions Saracens look likely to claim pole position following 22 rounds of action, but the battle for home advantage between the Chiefs and Wasps could well go to the wire if the Devon...
