Join us for the annual Bideford Manor Court event 

Dating back to the 5th century, the Manor Court, once known as the "Court Leet," was a place for townspeople to voice their concerns. Today, it's a chance for Bideford residents to submit ideas to improve our town.

Got a suggestion? Submit your "presentment"  to the Town Clerk by 12 noon, Monday 3 March 2025.

Your ideas will be reviewed by a jury of locals, and those within the Town Council's authority will be considered.

Bideford residents who wish to be considered for an invitation to attend the Manor Court Ceremony, please complete and return the coupon to Bideford Town Council.

Be part of this living tradition! Support your town and help shape its future.

If there are too many applicants, the mayor will draw to fill in the available places.  Those chosen will be able to take a guest and will also be invited to the Civic Reception following the Ceremony.
