Autumn & Winter at Grandma's

Apart from the beautiful colours, the lovely thing about Devon in autumn and winter is how quiet the normally busy places can be. From National Trust properties to beaches north and south, there's space to think, talk and walk and sup and eat in welcoming pubs with roaring fires before returning to the cosiness of Grandma's Cottage.

November sees the annual Uffculme Firework display at Bridwell. Choreographed by the brilliant award winning firm Sonic Fireworks, it's a local must see and only a stone's throw from Grandma's. Tickets are available from this Bridwell link. Later on in November there's the Exeter Christmas Market set next to the shining jewel that is Exeter Cathedral. In Uffculme the Christmas Lights festival takes place with the village and the church bedecked. There's a switch on ceremony on Saturday 22nd November from 5.45pm in the Square.
