Entertainment at The Half Moon
Over the past few years, we have worked hard to organise more events at the pub, offering something for everyone.
We have held live music performances from the Mariners Away, Big Al & The Fairweather Friends, Bandamonium, plus the Winkleigh Morris Dancers have performed at our inn. The pub continues to host it’s monthly quiz nights and we have introduced themed nights and pizza nights, We hope to continue organising events for the village and visitors, especially in the Summer months. This is a great tradition to embrace and a great piece of culture to experience.
We‘ve also begun to hold car meets in the village square just outside the pub, and hope to host more with different car clubs and vintage car owners.
In the near future, we plan to hold more events to cater to all audiences. To stay updated, follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
One of our biggest events of the Summer is the Bandamonium Brassband Festival!
Festivals & Live Music
The Bandamonium Festival is a non-competing Brass Band festival in West Devon. Bands play in 6 village locations on the Saturday afternoon before all meeting up in Hatherleigh Square for massed bands in the evening.
We are lucky to have been a part of the festival since its beginning in 2022. In 2024 we hosted 18 bands, performing all day outside the inn. Bandamonium is a free event and this year at the Half Moon we hosted a BBQ and Pizza oven for what was a great day of food and live music! This year Bandamonium even provided their own ale which went down a storm!
We can’t wait for Bandamonium 5 which will take place in 2026

Our Community
As Sheepwash is a small village, our local community is hugely important to us, that’s why we try hard to find ways to bring our community together, whether that is through our village BBQ’S, live music or even a quiet drink with the locals. We are always here for our community and we believe that this really adds to the welcoming and warm feel of our beautiful village and pub.
