| Directions to Branscombe
Village Hall. Postcode EX12 3DB Branscombe is a very long village - just because you've arrived doesn't mean you don't have a mile or so still to drive! Keeping on going downhill should get you to the hall. Full map - click here Travelling from Sidmouth and Sidford along the A3052, turn right at the junction signed Donkey Sanctuary. |
| Broadclyst Victory
Hall is sometimes used for folk events. These details are stored here for when I next publicise an event. It is a large modern hall but difficult to find on a dark night unless you know where you are going. |
Broadclyst Victory Hall is a large modern building with free parking adjacent. Postcode EX5 3EE. MAPS showing recommended routes. |
