Sunday 11th October 2026 | Exeter Cathedral | 6pm

A landmark 'National Harvest of the Sea' Service to give thanks for our fishermen will be held at Exeter Cathedral on Sunday 11th October at 6pm. The service will recognise the fishermen, fishing families and coastal communities whose dedication has provided sustainable seafood to Britain for generations. The Service is being held in partnership with Love British Food which is celebrating its 25th Anniversary and is supported by Seafish.

The Bishop of Exeter will preach at the service, in partnership with The Fishermen's Mission area manager for Devon Helen Lovell-Smith, bringing together representatives from across the fishing industry, seafood businesses, coastal communities, churches and supporters from around the United Kingdom.

We welcome you all to attend as we give thanks for our fishermen.

I was honoured to conduct the Commemoration Service for RNLITorbay on Saturday. Hearing 'Abide with Me' sung with All Saints Church, Brixham as a backdrop to the flotilla of lifeboats and rowing gigs in the Harbour was a special moment I'll carry with me forever.

We’re on a mission (sorry) to find our spinner a new home in a local Devon business — somewhere by the till, in reception, anywhere with a bit of floor space. It raises money for Fishermen's Mission Devon so if you'd like to adopt it, please message us! 💙

Thank you🐟

* Thank you for all the comments and interest on BRIXHAM (FISH TOWN) which we can follow-up. Frustratingly, shares are no longer visible to track so it's best to comment on this original post.

I'm happy to report this spinner was dropped off at the The Prince William, Brixham yesterday so it can be found at the entrance to their restaurant.

We're gearing up for another fantastic South West Sardine Festival this Sunday!
