LIVE MUSIC EVENTS IN 
NORTH DEVON

With a line-up spanning folk, blues, gypsy jazz and more, these gigs deliver something for all those with a passion for music. Wherever you’re from and whatever language you speak, music unites us. It’s food for the soul - and we’re saving you a seat.

Weaving together music, nature and community

MUSIC, NATURE AND COMMUNITY

2025 LIVE MUSIC EVENTS

Born from Aaron’s lifelong love of grassroots music - especially blues, but anything that moves the soul - our brand new live music events will showcase some of the best musicians from around the country. Set against the waterside backdrop of our retreat, just outside Barnstaple, this is live music in North Devon - HARTA retreat style: come and see what we mean!  One of the beauties of HARTA retreat is its rural, off-the-beaten-track location. We're easy to reach by car, but it seems Devon’s public transport hasn’t quite caught up yet (ha!). We offer a range of accommodation options—from our converted holiday barn and glamping tipis to campervan spots and camping—and you’re very welcome to stay. We do get busy, so please get in touch if you'd like to stay. And for parties over 4 we offer free soft drinks to the designated driver.
