THORNFEST

THORNFEST is a celebration of Devon-based creativity for the autumn equinox: a family-friendly day bringing together ten local music acts, an open-mic poetry session, and a run of exhibiting artists, makers and workshops, all under one roof.

On the music side, the line-up includes THORN, Susannah and the Noise (who recently recorded their album in Dartmoor), House of Quiet, Ulrika-Igraine and more, spanning the day from morning through evening. Alongside the acts, we’re running The Space Between, an open-mic poetry reading open to anyone who’d like to share their work.

We’ll also have a strong showing of local artists exhibiting on the day, including:

Janec Van Veen: taxidermist
Black Ceramics: ceramics
The Rag Lab: handmade dolls
Joseph Winsborrow: anointing oil workshop
Hillbilly Treasures: jewellery made from moss and other natural materials
Laura Harvey: canvas paintings
