Welcome to Connect and Create, North Devon’s fastest rising and most popular community project that brings the very best of the regions creatives together.

Starting back in 2015, the festival has played host to well over 500 independent businesses, artists and musicians over the years, given them all the platform to showcase their individual talents to the public.

The last couple of years saw the festival step up a level in terms of trader participation and footfall, making it one of the biggest attended independent events in North Devon.

We pride ourselves on shining the spotlight on the very best and the most unique businesses around the area, which in turn separates us from every other festival in terms of diversity and character.

This year sees Connect and Create evolve into Connect, Create and Collaborate, an initiative put in place to bring all of the creatives together with ongoing working projects throughout the year. On top of that, we will have multiple festivals, including two summer and two winter events, making this the biggest year yet.
