The Blackawton International Festival of Wormcharming is back next month!

The 36th Blackawton International Festival of Wormcharming is taking place 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.

The Official Cheat 

One of the organisers, Zoë Oughton, said: "We love as many people to be therer this year as possible and have lots of activities and food from the Bosco bus and I’ll churros as well as Dartmouth Ice Cream and, of course, our very own WI will be selling cakes and cups of tea!"
