Tomorrow, Sunday 26th April, the North Devon Classic Car club are bringing several classic cars down to Malmsmead.

We're excited for more scenes like this one of my mum in her Sprite. In the past we've had vintage Bentleys and Ferraris going though the ford.

The cars will be here around 2pm.

Bev’s Baps have long been admired in the Doone Valley…
But now she’s gone one better - presenting a fine pair of Bev Macs. 🍔🍔

Sun’s out, garden’s blooming - and like all hardy perennials, they’re best enjoyed outside.

The Buttery Cafe & Riverside Gardens is open all weekend.
