Brayford Village

Please see the attached, important notice from the Parish Council re the Parish Newsletter and Jubilee celebrations planned.

News snippets will be posted in this section of the Brayford website in the interim period.

As from Monday 19th July most legal limits on social contact were removed. There is no longer any limit on gatherings inside or outside or on social distancing.

However. the government's position is that people should continue to exercise caution, common sense and personal responsibility.

The village hall have decided to continue to provide hand sanitisers, one way access and support the voluntary continuation of social distancing whilst the pandemic continues at its current level.

The Brayford Village & Farmers Market - 2019 Runner-up of Best Farmers Market in all of Devon!

A local and traditional Market with unusual things from our countryside!

There will be local meats from Bess Hill Farm Shop, local sausages, & quiche & freshly made sausage rolls from South West Cheese Shop, Exmoor honey & fresh eggs, fresh Devon pasties & a range of freshly baked breads from East & West Bakery, savoury local handmade pies, local ales & ciders, arts & crafts, handmade childrens’ clothing, and scrumptious sweets. In addition, Ruth’s tea, coffee, and homemade biscuits & cakes available. 

We will also have a "Ukraine Appeal" for anyone wishing to contribute cash directly to the refugees in Eastern Europe through churches in the border countries of Ukraine. This is a cash only donation point, and will go through the High Bray Church Restricted Fund for this "Ukraine Appeal", as mentioned in our notice above.

No entry fee.  

We will be asking our stallholders to wear masks, and encouraging those who come to do so as well when they are not at the tea tables. There will be sanitiser at the doors. These are trying times for us all and we hope to be able to provide a ‘proper’ Market that is safe and enjoyable.

The Market is held on the 2nd Saturday of each month at the Village Hall; all are welcome!

Come and enjoy yourself for a wonderful outing and support the Village and local producers!

As you know the Churches of High Bray, the Chapel, & Charles launched a ‘Ukraine Appeal’ a month ago to support the emergency assistance for Ukrainians, both inside and outside of the Country. 

So far, our communities have raised £2,722 (!) which has been sent to ‘Computers for Charities’, a Sussex based charity which has aided refugees and the dispossessed in Eastern Europe since the late 1990’s through local church organisations in those Countries. This donated amount is a remarkable achievement for our small community, and more donations come in weekly.

 As the need in Ukraine continues to grow daily, if you feel you can assist, would you kindly contact one of the following:
