Although we are from the North East we have been visiting the beautiful village of Broadhembury regularly now for nearly 20 years because of a family connection.
We have come to love this lovely Devon village tucked away to the south of the Blackdowns Hills and now regard this village as our “adopted village” and “our home away from home.”
Infact we were told only a few years ago "I don't think you're grockles any more" and it only took 17 years!
We have seen many changes in the last 20 years with friends we knew who have unfortunately passed away or moved from the village and we are delighted to have made some new friends both in the village and in the local caching community.
We hosted our 1st Geocaching event in the village in 2011 and it was a "rip roaring success". So due to repeated requests we hosted another in 2012 and all the way through to 2019..COVID stopped us in 2020 but we're back with a vengeance in 2021.
We think it's getting a bit of an enjoyable habit!
So come and join us for Afternoon tea, with scones and cakes in our lovely Devon Garden
We are happy to have dogs in the garden / meadow but please bring a lead so they don’t run a mock
So this is chance for everyone to shrug off the workday blues and relax on a Saturday afternoon with a drink and with caching friends or even meet new ones!
A chance to meet greet and chat over all the caches you can’t find or don’t know where to place or even swap coin numbers.
We even have a Multi cache in the village! How about trying it when you come over?
We might even let you know the name of the elephant in the tree! You’ll have to see Can you do the Broadhembury Bimble? (GC2DQGE) for that one!
The event will start at 1.00pm (sandwiches, scones & Tea served at 2.00pm-ish) but the event will last till to about 4.30ish pm. If you wish to bring wine / pims please do.
PLEASE LET US KNOW YOUR ALLERGIC TO ANYTHING and we will try to do the best to accommodate you.
PLEASE MENTION if you would like to eat in your log.
We're hoping to raise a few pennies for Piratemania 2022..so any contribution toward the food / drinks would be gratefully received.
...being Pirates we have "stolen" the PM 20 Geocaching Anniversary banner so if you haven't grabbed the locationless cache please come along and get your photo with Signal.

Please park in the centre of the village and walk up the road next to the Drewe Arms and past the church into the meadow next to the school.
WE WOULD ALSO BE GRATEFUL if you could bring something to sit on like a fold away chair, we have a few but not that many. If you have a gazebo by all means bring that too!
