Had an absolutely fantastic day with Gigha on the stained glass and driftwood workshop. There were an abundance of wonderful materials to choose from, clear instructions and all the help needed. The workshop space is so inviting, warm and friendly with Gigha’s beautiful creations all around to feast your eyes on. The hardest part of the day was my own decision making and choosing from all the wonderful colours and textures. Truly a fantastic experience and whilst I’m not local I will 100% be back for more... thank you Gigha

3. Cobbaton Combat Collection

This collection of wartime equipment, paraphernalia, vehicles, artillery, weapons, clothing etc is staggering. Well presented and so much to see you’ll need two trips around. We enjoyed it and our two 11yo boys did too. As with many venues, it’s the people that make it, The Cobbaton Combat Collection is well staffed with knowledgeable informative and friendly staff who are clearly all enthusiasts. There’s a HUGE selection of military based items and clothing for sale in the shop, which doesn’t feel like a shop. The Nafi Van was well stocked and the service was excellent - the pasties were delicious.

Fabulous temporary exhibition in September. Whenever I am in Bideford I pop in to this gallery and I am rarely disappointed. Always good art to see and the latest was thought provoking. Good cafe attached.
