About this event

Do you have a ‘previously loved’ pair of wheels and want to get into cycling again for your health and wellbeing? Has your bike been collecting dust for a while and you want to feel safe getting back in the saddle? Maybe your child has an old or secondhand bike that you want to be sure is safe to ride or use at the skate park?
Bring your bicycle to Victoria Park, Buckfastleigh on Saturday 3 July for a Free Bike Safety Check at Dr Bike.
We are launching a summer of cycling events: BIG BIKE REVIVAL including a Dr Bike workshop.
Do come along to the launch, however be sure to book your slot in advance if you want a bike safety check. The event will open 10.00am and finish 2.00pm.
This free event is for people in TQ11 (Buckfastleigh /Buckfast ), all ages and cycling abilities, especially those who are not regular riders, or who might otherwise not be able to afford the cost of cycle repairs.
The session may include small repairs to your bike depending on what it needs and if parts are on hand, to make sure your bicycle is safe to ride.
Because this is the launch of the BIG BIKE REVIVAL there will be other organisations with information about cycling. Please come along to find out how cycling locally can be fun, safe and rewarding.
We are able to offer this FREE Dr Bike workshop and more BIG BIKE REVIVAL events throughout the coming summer thanks to support and funding from:

Cycling UK
Be Buckfastleigh
Mayor of Buckfastleigh Mayor’s Fund
Sustainable South Brent
Buckfastleigh Town Council

Night Lights - A Light Festival for Buckfastleigh
2020-12-20 18:00 - 20:30, 2020-12-18 18:00 - 20:30 | Buckfastleigh Primary School
In the absence of the Buckfastleigh Town Christmas market this year the Council are providing a safe celebration with a difference, for everyone to participate in, in association with The Media Workshop and Participate Arts.
We invite you to share the festive decorations to your house and garden for people to see on a Christmassy Walk of Wonder around town! This could be lights, installed creatures and scenes etc.. and also to make an extra special effort to decorate your windows and register whatever decorations you make on the window wanderland website.
We see this as a lovely way to bring cheer to the community this festive season after such a challenging year.
In addition to your contributions there will be an exciting light projection taking place on Buckfastleigh Primary School each evening from 6pm – 8.30pm. Children at the school are making Christmassy images and animations that will be displayed over the front of the school. Access will be via a one-way system, starting at the main front gates and will be marshalled to ensure social distancing is adhered to and that all visitors are kept safe.
Participate Arts proudly present an Art Activity pack as part of the window wanderland. There are limited packs including materials for you to make a festive decoration for your window available outside St.Luke’s Church from Monday 7th December.
If you know someone in your neighbourhood who creates a wonderful festive decoration outside their home, please encourage or help them to register here on the Window Wanderland website so that we can all enjoy their decorations and engage in a community event that brings us together safely this festive time!
Don’t forget to tell all your friends and neighbours and to join in with a walk around our special trail on one of the three evenings!
