What’s on

From 11 am – 3 pm, head over to The Bere Ferrers Social Club (just a 7-min walk from the station) and browse a range of paintings, textiles, fused glass, cakes, Christmas gifts and much, much more.

The bar will also be serving some light lunches, mince pies, mulled wine and a selection of handmade cakes.

Spend the day

Why not spend the whole day in Bere Ferrers? After you’ve had a look around the craft fair and enjoyed a light lunch, head out on a scenic circular walk taking you through countryside and woodland, with great views of the River Tavy.

Stop into the Olde Plough Inn for lunch or dinner by their open fire (booking is strongly advised – call 01822 840358), before walking back to the station to catch the train home.
