Here’s to next year!

We’ve made the decision that The Red Barn won’t be opening this winter.
Whilst it is our natural inclination to be open at this time of year to provide a warm welcome to locals and visitors alike, under the current Tier 2 restrictions we feel it is better to stay closed. Instead we will focus our energies on preparing for 2021.
See you all in 2021!

Local surf roots

The Red Barn has been home to Woolacombe’s surfers since the sport washed up on North Devon’s shores. Back at the start of the sixties the Surf Life Saving Club formed on Woolacombe Beach, shortly followed by the professional lifeguard service, and with The Red Barn’s proximity to the beach we became an unofficial club house and meeting point for those involved.

The local and visiting surf scene found a welcome home in The Red Barn that carries on to this day. Check out the collection of classic surfboards we have on display in the rafters, most were either made or surfed by local surfing ‘legends’ here at Woolacombe!

The Red Barn is a sponsor of the Museum of British Surfing.
