Outside is a unique and magical space on the outskirts of Bantham in the South Hams and has been designed and built with community right at its heart. It is providing a safe space for all walks for life, for sport, for local food, for wellbeing and social interaction.

What started as idea of local Paddy Wellens and old friend, musician Ben Howard is now a reality, a feat that wouldn't have been possible without the outpouring of support from the local community. We officially opened in late July 2022 and Outside is now firmly on the map with its purpose built, concrete skate bowl hosting over 400 skaters so far, to its small organic farm supplying about 60% of the produce that makes up the cafe's international menu.

Outside also hosts a ceramics studio running courses for both adults and children and a Surfboard shaping workshop, a place for renowned shapers and amateurs to hone their skills.

With a few successful evening events under their belt, we are looking to create an eclectic mix of events through the calendar year from food nights, comedy evenings, skate jams, exhibitions and film nights. In the near future it may be possible to hire Outside for private events.
