Anyone going to the south coast of Devon this May would be advised to be prepared for some swashbuckling as pirates will be everwhere; from Brixham to Plymouth, stopping off for a knees-up at Exmouth Rugby Club.

Scrumpstock, a cider festival which celebrates keeping Devon’s apple varieties and traditional pressing methods alive, will join in the notorious seafarers’ fun with its own Pirate Day on the final of three days of music, family entertainments, activities and opportunities to discover an ever-expanding selection of ciders.

Yarn-bomb bursts apple tree back to life!

A 12 foot community yarn-bomb has exploded in the orchard at Killerton National Trust estate near Exeter.

The culprits are an army of 50 knitters and pom-pom bombers from across Devon and as far flung as Oregon in the United States.

Their combined efforts have burst Killerton’s retired apple tree back to life by entirely covering it in 400 individually knitted leaves, 50 apple-pompoms and hand-knitted woolly wildlife including game birds, squirrels, hedgehogs, frogs and a swarm of Killerton bees.

The yarn-bomb will be on proud display throughout the Killerton Cider...
