The Knowhere Guide

Going Out in Okehampton, Devon*

Okehampton, Devon Clubs, Music Venues, Cinemas

Clubs (Dance Music) and Music Bars

• Neros techno with a touch of hard core country
• Neros, but its the home of OAP's these days.
• NEROS. Used to be an old cinema but that's a long time ago and probably only the British Legion brigade would know about it.
• Neros. Good if you wish to pick up/fight with squaddies from the army camp up on the moors.

Live Music Venues

• Live music can be found in pubs occasionally. Likely to be of the Bert on the organ variety.

Cinemas

• Odeon
• Da little carlton barn, if u can call it a cinema.
• Carlton Cinema. Huge Art Deco type place. The inside is nothing but an enchanting but tasteless magnolia. If you go for a box seat, you will only be about 1ft above everyone else and right at the back meaning that you would need a telescope to see the screen. It is the coldest cinema in Devon possibly the world.
• The Carlton. Don't travel miles if its raining as it has a corrugated metal roof and the sound can obscure the soundtrack. A true rare gem of rural 1 screen flea pit. Sadly smoking in cinema has not been permitted since 1998, but otherwise unchanged since 1970s. 2 private boxes available - you get to sit on a free standing seat and enjoy a coffee table. Many WestCountry children have been concieved in this environment.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
