The Blackawton International Festival of Wormcharming is back next month!

The Blackawton International Festival of Wormcharming is taking place on Sunday, 30 April, and you can join in - no experience necessary. 

International Judge 

You can turn up and register on the day, just bring your team of three (a charmerer, a pickerer and a counterer) and £5 to Worm HQ near The George Inn before the midday deadline. 

There will be separate categories for Under 11s and Adults. 

Worm Master 

The Blackawton International Festival of Wormcharming is a day of fun, fancy dress and fundraising culminating with the infamous Worm Charming auction, which will be at the George Inn and last year raised over £5,000 for local charities including the Devon Air Ambulance.
