Brixham Angels

Brixham Angels The Story of the Brixham Angel. Some said the flames were in the shape of an Angel.

''Local legend has it that during 'The Great Gale' of 1866, the lights of the town being dimmed by the inclemency, and fearing for the lives of their sons, husbands, brothers and fathers, the womenfolk gathered and hauled their furniture to the headland and set ablaze in a bonfire to guide the remaining sailing trawlers home to port. Such was the destruction of the fishing fleet, and with it 100 l

ives lost, that after the storm it was said that one could walk across to Paignton on the broken flotsam of trawlers. To this day, on the darkest, stillest nights above the Port of Brixham, amongst the cries of ever circling gulls, there can be heard the flap of the Angels wings that look over the souls of all below.''

It’s with a heavy but hopeful heart that we’re sharing this…

The Brixham Angels has been an absolute joy to run. Spending summer days on the harbour in the tuk-tuk, meeting so many lovely faces, sharing stories, laughter, and selling these special little Angels has been something truly magical. We’ve made wonderful friends along the way and feel incredibly grateful for the warmth and support this community has shown us.

The Angels themselves carry a powerful story — inspired by the brave women of Brixham during the Great Gale of 1866, whose courage and compassion saved lives and left a legacy that still touches people today. Being part of keeping that story alive has meant more to us than words can say.

Due to ill health, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to sell the business, as we’re no longer able to continue in the way it deserves. This decision hasn’t been taken lightly — the business is well loved, well known on the harbour, and has so much potential for the right person to take it forward.

We are open to offers around £17,000, which would include the fully set-up tuk-tuk, all stock, and the complete Brixham Angels business.

Our hope is simply that it finds the right new owner — someone who will enjoy it as much as we have and continue sharing the Angels and their story with visitors and locals alike.

If you or someone you know might be interested, please feel free to get in touch or share this post 🤍
