Our Community
Devizes Town Council supports lots of community activities that help to make our town a better place to live, work and visit. Working in partnership with the people of the town, as organisations, groups and individuals, there are a whole range of activities and events that enrich our community.

Your views are very important to Devizes Town Council, and throughout the year we undertake consultation on all of our services, from the Venues through to the Parks & Cemetery.

Sometimes you may have a view on a service that is not within the direct control of Devizes Town Council. If this is the case we will pass the matter on to the relevant organisation.
The Devizes Festival, held each year in June, brings to the town some of the best performers from around the UK. From classical music to jazz, rock, blues and roots, the Festival - including its free Fringe festival – has become renowned for providing something for everyone. Theatre and dance are mainstays, as are talks, walks and lectures, comedy, film and special evenings with celebrities from radio, television, newspapers and politics. The Devizes Festival is run entirely by volunteers and receives support from local businesses, as well as Devizes Town Council. For more information, visit the Festival website at www.devizesfestival.co.uk.
Devizes Carnival dates back to 1912 and was originally organised to raise money for a cottage hospital. Today it is a major event in the town's calendar and features the famous August Bank Holiday Street Festival, the Confetti Battle, and The Grand Carnival Parade.
The Carnival continues to increase in size and popularity with more and more people getting involved – a true community occasion. For more information, visit the Carnival website at www.devizescarnival.co.uk
Making our town an attractive environment for all to enjoy is something that the Town Council takes great pride in, and our commitment to ‘In Bloom’ at local and regional levels is part of our drive to improve our space. In recent years Devizes has improved its standing in the regional South West In Bloom competition by achieving silver gilt status. There is still lots of room for improvement and we hope that individuals, organisations, schools and businesses will want to take part in our local Devizes In Bloom competition.
