Chulmleigh Society was formed after a
Public Meeting in October 2004
The Aims of the Society
To promote, foster and celebrate the artistic and creative talent which exists locally - whether
that talent is professional or amateur, mature or developing.
To enrich and enhance the lives of residents in this rural part of Devon, collectively
and individually, by organising a programme of events in the performing and visual arts, talks, visits and presentations.
To support materially or otherwise, groups and individuals, particularly the young, in developing
their skills and talents for the benefit of the community as well as themselves.
The Chulmleigh Rural Cinema was established by the Society and presents
a monthly film in the Pavilion at Chulmleigh Playing Field.
The profits are shared equally between the Playing Field Committee and the Society for
the benefit of the local Community.
The Committee endeavors to reflect a wide diversity of tastes in organizing both musical and theatrical events,
as well as speakers of note, many of whom are nationally known.
Members receive Newsletters throughout the year giving advance notice of all Society
organized events, thus providing priority booking and reduced ticket prices.
The Membership fee has been held at £12 per person per annum since inception and runs from January to December.
Established Annual Events include:
Viennese Evening with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in January

Lunch with a speaker

Shakespeare Evening in August at Rougemont Gardens
