About us
Welcome to our group, celebrating the best of everything in Devon and the surrounding areas.
From hikes and wild swims, to food and drink festivals, secret beaches and woodland picnics, this group aims to offer a bit of everything — but the best of everything.
Feel free to come and join us as we embrace all the delights of Devon!
This is an inclusive group for adults who enjoy getting out and exploring Devon together - whether for a day, a weekend, or something a bit special.
Some events may have a charge, especially where bookings, tickets, activities, deposits or travel arrangements are involved. Any additional money made from events helps contribute towards the running of the group, including Meetup subscription fees, event administration and ongoing organising costs.
There’s also an optional WhatsApp group for Delightful Devon if you’d like to stay connected between events - sharing ideas, suggestions, and the occasional bit of coordination.
Meetup will remain the main place for event details, but WhatsApp gives members an easy way to keep in touch between meetups.

There is also an optional donation link for anyone who would like to support Delightful Devon and the wider South West Social Events groups.
Your optional donation helps keep the groups active and gives members like you more opportunities to enjoy events, meet new people and enjoy Exeter, Devon and the surrounding areas.
Donations can be for any amount, and supporters will be thanked publicly unless they prefer to remain anonymous.
