Please take the opportunity this month to
support your local shops and the events taking place in Crediton
over the festive period. From the 7th to 10th December there is the
fabulous Christmas Tree Festival in the Parish Church where we will
be having a tree on the theme " Love Food Hate Waste". On the 17th
December from 10am to 1pm there is the Christmas farmers market in
the Town Square.
Enjoy your festive celebrations.
