Steam and Carols is a community group set up in late 2014 at the Weary Ploughman, Churston, South Devon, England. We organise affordable music events around Galmpton and raise money for Rowcroft Hospice and The Salvation Army. The River Dart forms a backdrop to all our events with it’s stunning views.
Our events are primarily in the winter period to help promote the local economy. Accommodation is available in Galmpton village, at The Weary Ploughman and The Manor Inn.
Galmpton Bonfire Society is a sister organisation and plans and runs Galmpton Bonfire Night. To join Galmpton Bonfire Society please ring 07879442416 / email partridge1972@hotmailco.uk
