Better Places Invites You to Join Weekly Events in Buckfastleigh

Join Better Places (Be Buckfastleigh) every Tuesday for the Buckfastleigh Social Supermarket and every Thursday for the Little Lambs Early Years Group. Enjoy a warm, friendly welcome and a variety of fun activities.

Our warm and welcoming community group, Better Places (Be Buckfastleigh), is delighted to continue supporting and running a variety of events and activities right here in Buckfastleigh. We invite everyone in our community to join us and be a part of these wonderful gatherings.

Tuesday - Buckfastleigh Social Supermarket: Every Tuesday, the Town Hall transforms into a warm and welcoming café space from 2.30pm, with the food store opening between 3-5pm. For a suggested donation of £4.50 per household, you'll be able to select from a variety of items. We ensure that everyone gets a fair portion of our stock, which varies weekly depending on the quantity of each item we have. We source our produce from Fare Share, a charity that redistributes surplus food from the industry to charitable and non-profit organisations. The food is always of excellent quality and in perfect condition. In addition to Fare Share's contributions, local businesses generously donate food and goods. We also have a 'free' table where you're welcome to donate to and select from. And let's not forget the free tea, coffee, and biscuits! You're more than welcome to come along just for a hot drink and a chat. We also run a similar Social Supermarket in Bovey Tracey.

Thursday - Little Lambs Early Years Group: Every Thursday, bring your little ones to the Little Lambs Early Years Group at St. Luke's Church Hall. From 10am-12pm, your children can enjoy lots of free play while you relax with a friendly cuppa. It's a great social space to make friends and enjoy a healthy snack. Best of all, it's completely FREE!

We look forward to seeing you there!
