Opening Times

Sorry, this event has passed

Explore the horrid history that has shaped Slapton and delve into the lives of the people who lived through these ghastly times. Slapton, though be it a sleepy little place in the South Hams, has no end of stories. The roads walked by mammoths, built in shelter from pirates and plagued by the black death. A village who's tower still stands despite Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries and who's sands have seen more bloodshed than Utah beach on D-Day. Visiting historic sites around the village, hear of the tragedies that our ancestors would have experienced, see the sites of momentous moments and question: what does Slapton's future hold?
