Join us across Dartmoor and Exmoor for a series of creative workshops, listening sessions, music, and storytelling as we harvest memory and re-weave the nocturnal folklore of the Two Moors.
We are delighted to partner with the Devon and Somerset Wildlife Trusts to present a series of events celebrating the return of our long-forgotten neighbour: the pine marten. Celebrate the Autumn Equinox with us - not as a season of fading, but as a time of remembering.
