Tickets Tickets are now available! Note that spectating on Sunday is free.
Venue The Exeter District Scouts' HQ in Marsh Barton, Exeter, Devon. The venue has free WIFI and a fully-fitted kitchen including free tea and coffee and is on the southern edge of Exeter, about ten minutes from the end of the M5.
Accommodation I'm offering free floor space for around ten people on a first-come-first-served basis, in Dawlish which is a 20 minute drive from the venue. There will also be some floor space available in Newton Abbot, also about 20 minutes away. Some previous attendees have stayed at St. Andrews Hotel (ten minute walk) and recommended it.
Food Apart from free tea and coffee, no food or drink is included in the ticket. There is a McDonalds drive-thru and a Costa about 300m up the road and a big Sainsbury nearby (5m drive, 10-15m walk). For dinner on Saturday evening we usually book a big table at the Seven Stars pub, a five minute walk from the venue. You're also welcome to bring along packed lunches and use the kitchen to heat up food as long as you tidy up behind you!
