South Molton Carnival 2026, is less than 4 months away.

The fun returns on Saturday 26trh September, with the procession leaving Central car park at 6.00 p.m, for 2 laps of the route. The Pannier Market will feature children’s rides, stalls and food vendors from 4.00 p.m. Our theme this year is “Through the Decades”, so get your thinking caps on for ideas for the floats ; On foot with or without a decorated vehicle, on bikes, skateboards, ponies or in cars, tractors, with or without trailers or on large vehicles. Perhaps local businesses can showcase themselves through the decades?

We are hoping to provide free rides for children in the Pannier Market again this year, but we will need support to make this so.

Our A5 brochure will be delivered to 2900 homes locally in early September. Advertising costs remain static for the 3rd year at £100 for a full page, £60 for a half page and £35 for a quarter page. Look out for fundraising events published on our Facebook page. The first ones will be a quiz at Bar27 (the home of all things Carnival) on June 5th and a drag night at The Coaching Inn on July 4th. Would you like to be a Carnival Ambassador?

This is open to all 11 to 18 year olds from the South Molton community. Application forms are available to download from our Facebook page or to collect from The Amory Centre. The deadline for receipt is 24th July.

Our drawing competition for younger children will also be returning - watch this space!

Celebrating One Year in South Molton

A thank you to the town that welcomed us so warmly

This June marks one year since Harmonia Health & Osteopathy opened in South Molton, with the clinic officially opened by the Mayor on 16th June last year.

Since then, we’ve provided over 1,000 appointments for patients aged from just two weeks to 98 years old.

This past year has been a real pleasure for us. We’d like to thank all of our patients, both new and existing, for their support and encouragement. We’ve loved working in South Molton and have appreciated the wonderful feedback people have given us about the clinic and welcoming atmosphere.

To celebrate our first year, we’re running a competition. To enter simply answer the following question:

How many bones are in the human skull (excluding the middle ear ossicles)?

Send your answer, name and phone number to: hello@harmonia-health.co.uk

The winner will be contacted in July and will receive a deeply relaxing Cranio-Sacral treatment to help relax and reset the body and nervous system.

Opening our new health clinic, Harmonia Health & Osteopathy, 73 South St, South Molton

At the clinic, we combine hands-on Osteopathy with gentle cranial and homotoxicological approaches, supporting people with pain, tension, stress, fatigue, injuries and mobility problems. Our work is calm, individual and designed to support recovery naturally

Suzanne Morgan is a registered osteopath, using structural, cranial and biodynamic approaches to support muscle and joint pain, as well as movement, balance and nervous system regulation.

Pauline Newell is a qualified homotoxicologist who uses non-invasive EAV testing and homotoxicological remedies to support internal regulation, particularly in long-standing or recurring conditions.

We’re a small, independent clinic in South Molton. Appointments can be booked with either practitioner. If you're unsure who to see, we're happy to advise - we work closely together where needed.

To book an appointment call us on 01769 740145 or book online at www.harmonia-health.co.uk

MARKET UPDATE – REALITY VS WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR

Across a 20 - mile radius, 30 - 50 properties are being added or reduced in price everyday. With over 4,000 homes currently on the market - some listed for months or even years - supply is high and competition is strong.

This has created a challenging marketplace. Many properties remain overpriced relative to current conditions, while transaction times are lengthening and fall - through rates are increasing. In short, it ’ s taking longer to secure the right buyer at the right price.

Since the market peak of 2022, demand and therefore achieved values - has softened. The unusually low stock and intense demand seen during the post - Covid period created inflated expectations. We are now seeing a continued correction as supply significantly exceeds normal levels.

Asking Price vs True Value

Yes, some asking prices have risen - but asking price is not the same as value. it ’ s easy to value property based on what we see ‘ For Sale ’ creating a false inflated market.

A marketing price reflects expectation.

A sold price reflects reality.

When sellers benchmark against other “ For Sale ” properties rather than completed sales, expectations can become artificially inflated. This risks prolonged time on market, price reductions, and ultimately achieving less than if the property had been correctly positioned from the outset. A stagnating property bleeds value as the longer a property remains on the market at an inflated price, the further behind it falls as conditions evolve.

A Buyer ’ s Market Requires a Smart Strategy

Demand dictates value. Without demand, there is no leverage and no value.

To achieve the best result in today ’ s market, pricing positioning must:

- Create immediate interest

- Generate viewings and demand

- Extract the strongest possible offer from a proceedable buyer, before the market falls away

Statistically, the easiest way to undersell a property or not sell at all is to overvalue it at launch.

This is not about selling cheaply or rushing a sale. It is about understanding the market as it is - not as we hope it to be - and positioning correctly to maximise outcome. True worth is what someone is prepared to pay.

If you want to sell, listen to the market, price strategically, and negotiate intelligently when you buy. Don ’ t value your own based on what a similar property is listed at and has been for months, or even what they paid during a stronger market.

Market conditions are unlikely to change dramatically in the short term. Acting decisively and realistically now typically secures a stronger result than waiting, while the market adjusts around you.

A Reliable, Honest and Professional Approach

For clear advice and a modern, personal approach to selling your home, please get in touch.

We are independent estate agents offering realistic guidance designed to get you moving.

Your jobs to do in June

1. Deadhead early annuals, perennials, and repeat-blooming roses regularly to encourage more flowers.

2. Cut back early-flowering herbaceous perennial, such as Pulmonaria and oriental poppies, if they are looking tired. This will encourage a second flush of flowers.

3. Shrubs which have flowered in the spring on the previous year’s growth, such as Weigela and Exochorda, should be pruned now.

4. Tender plants started off indoors, such as aubergines, courgettes, squashes and tomatoes can be hardened off and planted out this month.

5. Remove strawberry runners during the early part of summer, to avoid energy being diverted from developing fruit.

At the nursery this month we can finally relax; all the potting is done and all the hanging baskets made. We still have a large selection of bedding, patio and hanging basket plants if you haven’t done your pots and baskets yet. Herbaceous perennials can still be planted this month if you find you have gaps in your borders.

Opening Times

Monday to Saturday 9am - 5pm Sunday 10am - 4pm

Farm Life -

Nature’s Joy.

Isn’t nature wonderful? However much climate changes and humans intervene, it never ceases to amaze me.

This year has been an extraordinary time for wild flowers. From the first snowdrops to the daffodils through to the bluebells and now the foxgloves. I particularly look forward to the rather unique white foxglove which appears in one of our fields (see photo).

As I walk our spaniels early in the morning I also marvel at the smaller species hiding amongst the grass such as buttercups, red clover and cuckoo flowers (ladies smock). They give me so much joy as I plan our jobs for the day.

June is busy with silaging, nurturing the vines and shearing the sheep. Removing the fleece is back breaking work but without doing it ewes would become overheated and prone to fly strike which can be devastating I have shorn thousands in my younger days but now leave it to the next generation

Yes it is hard graft but at this time of the year it is such a privilege to work in the countryside

We are so lucky , here in Devon , because our office window is in the middle of the wonder of nature.

‘Til next time, Roger #TuppertheTractor (tupperthetractor.com and quoitatcrossvineyard.com)

South Molton Community Garden news

It’s been a very busy and productive month at the Community Garden! The mason bees are hatching and enjoying the early flowers. Our pond is full of frogs and tadpoles and the strawberries are flowering already.

The communal plots have been cleared and we spent a sunny Thursday afternoon sowing carrots, parsnips, beetroot and perpetual spinach. The raspberry patch has been tidied up and is looking better than ever! We now have well defined paths and it should be much easier to keep it all manageable.

As part of an exciting new project for the Willy-Nilly Garden, some of our gardeners have started to create a new pond. This is slightly larger than our existing pond, situated in the middle of the Willy-Nilly, and will be a great support for the wildlife living in the garden.

If you’d like to join us, please visit the garden on a Thursday afternoon, around 2-3pm, weather permitting. Alternatively, please see our website for more information: southmoltoncommunitygarden.co.uk or find us on Facebook @southmoltoncommunitygarden

Exmoor National Park Celebrates Rights of Way and Access Achievements

Exmoor National Park Authority (ENPA) is celebrating achieving high standards for public access, with 89 per cent of Exmoor’s 1000km of public rights of way rated “open and easy to use”, according to the latest survey for 2025/26. The findings highlight the crucial role played by ENPA Rangers, Field Services team and Volunteer network. They uphold these standards despite financial challenges, increased vegetation growth, the impact of recent years’ weather patterns from storm damage causing blocked paths, flooding destroying footbridges and dealing with fire.

In addition to survey success, ENPA continues to maintain and improve access infrastructure across the National Park. The field services team produces Exmoor’s iconic gates, stiles and fingerposts using timber grown and processed locally at its Exford depot, ensuring heritage-appropriate installations while supporting sustainable resource management.

ENPA also offered a Ranger Apprenticeship in the past year to enable a young person to learn and develop skills, knowledge and qualifications. The apprentice worked with the team on everything from public access management to engagement activities, nature recovery and heritage conservation project work.

Dan Barnett, ENPA Access and Recreation Manager, praised the collective effort behind the results: “This is a fantastic effort by our team. Our rangers and field services team work incredibly hard to uphold our rating, despite rising costs and environmental challenges such as longer growing seasons and storm damage. In 2025 for example, the number of hazardous or windblown trees rose by over 500 per cent. Whilst keeping on top of the day-to-day maintenance tasks, like vegetation cutting and fixing gates and signposts, we are also working to improve the public access network, making it more accessible for more people. We’re also extremely grateful to our fantastic volunteers, who offer invaluable support surveying, practical repairs, issue reporting - all vital activities that help maintain Exmoor’s network of paths across coast, moorland, woodland and villages.”

A local falconry business recently celebrated a significant

North Devon Hawk Walks, based in North Molton, rceived its 500th five star “Excellent” review from Trip Advisor.

As owner Nigel Penfold says, “This is a figure that many far bigger businesses would be very happy to achieve. Especially as we also have a grand total of just two reviews that are not 5 star”. For the last five years NDHW has also been awarded the prestigious Travellers’ Choice award, given to those businesses whose customer reviews have placed them in the top ten percent of attractions worldwide. NDHW specialises in providing falconry experiences in and around North Molton for small groups, typically only one to four people. “It’s learning about falconry by doing it”, as Nigel says. “People will have seen falconry displays at shows or watched buzzards and red kites in the sky over Exmoor, but nothing prepares them for the experience of having a hawk glide in from a hundred metres, to land on their fist”.

By keeping groups small Nigel tailors the experience to accommodate the interests and questions of all his customers.” Everything from Aerodynamics to Zoology”, as he puts it.

On a typical hawk-walk one of three Harris Hawks, Lady Macbeth, Cassius or Hotspur, will fly to and from all the customers, landing on their gloved hand for a morsel of food. Each hawk has their own distinct character, likes and dislikes and the relationship between hawk and handler is utterly unlike that between humans and any other species. Ideally, the hawk will see the handler as a useful, trustworthy servant, and possibly a hunting partner. But the affection is strictly a one-way affair. “Some people see humans as the pinnacle of creation. Hawks don’t share that view. To see yourself reflected in the hawk’s eye as she sits on your fist ignoring you can be a humbling experience”.

Over the past eighteen years the hawks have become regulars at the South Molton Fatstock show, visited local schools, youth groups, and adult social groups. A fairly recent addition, Cordelia the barn owl, is a welcome visitor at local care homes where residents have been delighted to get so close to such an iconic but rarely seen bird.

For more information about North Devon Hawk Walks, visit www.NorthDevonHawkWalks. uk or follow them on Facebook. An hours hawk-walk costs £75 in total for a group of up to four people.

Church kneeler display has international flavour

Chittlehampton’s historic parish church of St Hieritha hosted a four-day display of kneelers over the May Day bank holiday weekend.

The church’s extensive collection is currently celebrating its 26th anniversary. Organiser of this year’s display, Carole Henderson Begg, explains: ‘’The collection had its origins at the turn of the century, with parishioners asked to make a kneeler for AD 2000. The initial aim was to get 100 made for the millennium and the collection has grown since then. We were able to display more than 200 examples, together with arts and crafts by local artists, over the May Day holiday weekend.

A view of just a few of the 200-plus kneelers on display at St Hieritha’s church, Chittlehampton (Photo by Brenda Dyer).

‘’Groups of people got together at the start of the collection to design the kneelers. The only stipulation for the choice of design was that there had to be a connection with Chittlehampton. The designs vary enormously, from wildlife to musical instruments, and there are at least four designs featuring The Bell Inn, reflecting the centuries-old links between parish churches and village inns.’’

Carole added: ‘’After a subject had been chosen the design was drawn on canvas. Wool for the embroidery was issued to the groups making the kneelers, in the colours required. Once the picture was complete the kneelers were assembled by a group of village people, who added hooks on which the kneelers were hung on the church pews.’’

The money raised by donations during the display weekend will go towards the maintenance of the church, probably the third structure to stand on the site to commemorate St Urith (or Hieritha), who was martyred in the 6th century. She was hacked to death by farm workers who blamed her Christian beliefs for a poor harvest.

At the site of her martyrdom a spring appeared, the water of which was believed to have healing properties and Chittlehampton church, then the richest in Devon, attracted pilgrims from across Europe. Carole Henderson Begg added: ‘’The international link continues into the present day with kneelers by members of local families who have emigrated to the United States, Australia and New Zealand.’’

This kneeler depicts St Hieritha, showing a scythe used for her martyrdom and the spring that appeared at the place of her death (Photo by Carole Henderson Begg).
