Insight North Devon

July 2026

Hello and welcome to the July edition.

We have a lot to look forward to this month whilst enjoying the summer sun.

Wimbledon kicks off this month so who are you placing your bets on?

Festival season is also in full swing so make sure you go out and enjoy yourselves!

I’d also like to say well done to those who were taking exams last month, you’ve got this! Now the exams are done and dusted you can go and enjoy the sun during your well earned summer break.

Have an amazing July! Danny

Finally, if you would like to advertise your business to homes across Barnstaple and the surrounding areas each month, please get in touch.
