Thanks to those who funked their stuff with us in Cambridge City Centre as part of Outdoor Arts UK Conference 2026. Radical Joy was the slogan of the day. People today often see disco from the 1970s as frothy and frivolous. But Disco was in fact a radically joyous expression of togetherness in a world fraught by political and social polarisation. Sound familiar?

Thanks to everyone who turned up to the launch of our exhibition of photos, an outcome of a creative project bringing together a bunch of brilliant women from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. The photos can be seen in the foyer of Barnstaple Library and are up until 16th January.

Thanks to the ladies for taking part, to the North Devon Coast National Landscapes for the commission and for marvellous work from social activator Rose Young French and photographer Olga Vynnyk.

We are looking forward to the first of three free events bringing women together from diverse communities to explore the wonderful Braunton Burrows. We will walk, learn about and explore the place together. We will think about how these places make us feel and work together to co-create a series of photographs to capture those feelings. And these will be exhibited later in the winter.

On Sunday 19th October (10am-1pm) we will investigate the Scrubland, thick with berries and twittering birds and the Grassland that is prized of its biodiversity and rare plants

This place calls to us is a series of 3 creative walks on successive Sundays in October / November, each exploring two different habitats within the Burrows. You can attend one or come to them all! We will pay for parking and offer hot drinks and soup at the end!
