This Sunday (July 9) Simmons Park will become a riot of noise, colour and fun as Okehampton celebrates three historic moments in the town’s history.

The event will run from 10am to 8pm and include a wide range of family-friendly activities including music, dance, axe throwing, archery and the chance to view a specially-made timeline of the town’s history as part of the day.

This year marks 400 years since Okehampton was granted a town charter by James I, 150 years since the establishment of Okehampton United Charities and 125 years since Okehampton Hamlets Parish Council was founded.
