Chagford Local History Society will host a history event featuring new exhibitions and displays this weekend to mark Dartmoor’s 75th anniversary as a national park.

Dartmoor History Day will take place on July 4 from 10am to 5pm at the Jubilee Hall in Chagford, where visitors will be able to view many never-before-seen displays from other local history groups, including Okehampton.

The day will also include an interactive demonstration of the local history group’s website, a memory cafe and two live performances – one from local storyteller Lisa Schneidau and the other from the Moretonhampstead-based band, Footloose.

Refreshments will be served from 10am to 12pm and 3pm to 4.30 pm in the afternoon.
