The trail opens farms, vineyards and a brewery to expectant visitors in Autumn and Spring and its purpose is to connect a collective of like-minded producers and providores and to showcase the wonderful diversity of our region. This year the committee is trialling a rolling format which is different to previous trails. “It’s largely over three days and a bit earlier than usual,” said committee member Dale Bradshaw. “The purpose of the trail is about highlighting our ‘subculture’ that people may not be aware of,” said Mr Bradshaw. A highlight was the Long table Lunch with Chef Sarah and Nadine the Cake Queen at The Great Lakes Paddocks, an event which attracted a record crowd. A newer addition was an event held by the Wootton Community Network where you could purchase Devonshire Teas and sample photography and artworks from local creatives. The organisers would like to thank their sponsors, Pete for the video production, MidCoast Council and the Barrington Coast Tourism Team, and look forward to joining expectant visitors to the next trail.
