The Doddi Show


Not what you think! Doddi is not the home of the Diddy Men but is the venue for a unique Art Show in a small village primary school in the Teign Valley called Doddiscombsleigh. The village is also famous for it's treacle mines, but no one will tell you where the mines are to protect the treacle! Every two years at half term, the school undergoes a massive transformation as classrooms are emptied of all things educational and replaced with some of the most stunning art, sculptures and pottery to be found in Devon exhibited by over 50 artists in the South West. Patrons are Michael Morgan and Jonathon Porritt and over £30,000 has been raised over the years for facilities in the school grounds which this year saw the opening of an award-winning sustainable covered play area. Clearly, this is a remarkable school greatly loved and cherished by the local community. Oh!.... by the way. The village pub is called The Nobody Inn..................... but that's another story! http://www.doddiscombsleighartshow.co.uk/
