Devon’s Best Churchyard Competition 2021 – Find Out More – Free Webinar – 3rd March 2021

Devon’s Best Churchyard Competition 2021 – Find out more on 3rd March at 4.30pm

Our churchyards have never been more important than now, as a much needed peaceful sanctuary for people and wildlife. Some churchyards haven’t changed in hundreds of years and are unique islands of tranquility in our communities.

For the last 4 years, we have been running an annual competition to recognise and reward the hard work of those who look after our churchyards. Also, to provide some guidance for those interested in making the most of their outdoor space. This year’s competition is now open for entries and all the information and entry form is available here https://www.cpredevon.org.uk/competitions/devons-best-churchyard-competition/

This year, and together with The Archdeacon of Exeter, we have also organised a short webinar to find out all about this year’s competition, answer your questions etc. There’s a top prize of £200, a beautiful hand made oak plaque, and something for every entry. Please join us on 3rd March 2021 at 4.30pm via Zoom to find out more about the 2021 competition – please send us an email to info@cpredevon.org.uk for the zoom link. We look forward to seeing you.
