With summer holidays over, we've prepared a list of things you can get up to in Devon during the busy month of September. Whether it's something you've done before or never even thought about, have a look at our list of events below!
Kingsbridge Farmers Market @ Kingsbridge, Saturday 16th of September.
You'll find everything you'd expect from a farmers market and more.
Fruit and vegetables with as many as possible locally grown. A glistening array of fresh fish and crab landed locally. The smell of freshly baked bread and pastries still warm from the oven. Fresh meat served by the farmers who tended their livestock, properly hung and from contented animals.
Luscious handmade cakes, a wide range of homemade preserves and sauces, cheeses, locally grown flowers, plants and herbs, pate's, pies, pasties and honey from Dartmoor. Free range eggs and local ale. An interesting and varied selection of local craft stalls – perfect for a gift to take home or for treating yourself.

Abbfest @ Newton Abbot, Friday 22nd – Sunday 24th of September.
Abbfest is a beer, food and drink festival that aims to raise money for local charities, organisations and good causes!
From the 22nd-24th of September 2017 they will be showcasing the local food, drink, crafts and music from across the county.
On offer there are more than 200 Devon beers and ciders as well as a Pimms and Prosecco Bar and Hot Food which will be available throughout the weekend. ​In the food and craft tent, they have a range of local producers showcasing their talent and awesome skills so it's time to think of those Christmas presents to store away for the not too distant future.

Foraged Food & Beer Matching Night @ Buckfastleigh, Thursday 28th September.
Stuart Woodman has been teaching foraging & wild cookery professionally for the past five years and his sold out wild booze workshops at Port Eliot Festival culminated in launching his own wild-microbrewery, Woodman's Wild Ale, last year.
Stuart is equally at home cooking over an open fire, hosting wild food pop-ups in restaurants or woodland banquets. Stu will be roaming the fields, poking around in our hedges & assisting in creating a wonderful night of Wild Food at The Riverford Field Kitchen.
Stuart & Barnaby are collaborating on two foraged beers for this special night: Pineapple Weed Pale Ale & Hogweed Helles. There will also be other beers from their range to purchase on the night or take home.
