Ipplepen is a thriving community. There are a number of long-standing communal activities and events such as the Cottage Garden Show, the Carnival and Beating the Bounds which date back over a hundred years and are still very well supported.
In addition there are a whole host of clubs and societies catering for all types of interests and age groups including amateur dramatics, the women’s institute, a film society, a local history group, the evergreens, a gardening club, scouts and guides, a choral society and a youth club.
