On Friday 5^th December Olympic athlete Jo Pavey will be turning on the Christmas Lights in Honiton.

The switch on will take place after the traditional children’s carol service in St Paul’s Church on Honiton High Street. The carol starts at 5:30pm and should finish around 6:30pm.

Funding for the Honiton Christmas lights has been organised by the “Go Festive” committee, supported by the Honiton Chamber of Commerce and contributed to by many local businesses.

Jo Pavey is a four-time Olympian and won the 10,000 m gold medal at the 2014 European Championships in Zürich, ten months after giving birth to her second child. She became the oldest female European champion in history at the age of 40 years and 325 days.

Jo was born in Honiton and still lived near the area.

Help is need to plant a community orchard Honiton

Honiton Transition Town will be planting a small fruit tree orchard on Saturday 25^th October 10am–12pm, alongside the River Gissage between Millers Way and Streamers Meadows.

The trees have been kindly donated by local fruit tree nursery Adam’s Apples. The event is open to all and planting tools will be provided, so if you fancy helping out, please come along! The fruit trees will take a few years before they start to produce a reasonable sized crop, but ultimately we hope it will be a nice addition to the park, where people can come and help themselves to locally grown, fresh and delicious fruit!

It will be the second such community orchard to be established in Honiton this year, with 24 trees having been planted at Honiton Bottom Community Nature Reserve earlier in the year. Devon has lost nearly 90% of its orchards since the 1950s, so community led planting schemes are a fantastic way to re-connect people with an integral part of our local historic landscape. Planting will be led by local orchardist, Tom Nancarrow.

“I first heard about the community orchard and the local group Transition Town Honiton through a friend, I’m now really looking forward to learning more about it and joining the team on 25th October. It sounds like a really interesting project and I hope local people get involved and make the most of the orchard.” Marie Coombe local resident and mother of two.

We are looking for local residents to come together to help plant the apple trees that have been kindly donated by Adams’ Apples.

This project is one of many set up and run by TTH which came to life in 2011 and looks to inform and engage with its local community in order to empower that community to make positive changes to its environmenet.
