Statement from Sarah Wollaston

14th August 2019 After very careful thought, I have come to the conclusion that I can best serve the interests of this constituency by joining the Liberal Democrats. Brexit has not only sucked all the political oxygen from government over the past three years, but it has also consumed the ...

Event Details

More fantastic food stalls are being added to enhance the appeal of this producers’ market in and around Totnes market square. And to add more colour and variety to the event, an Artisan Craft and Arts Street Market, featuring a host of local creators displaying their wares will be on display.

‘The whole idea is to ‘Celebrate Totnes’, said Ray Reynolds, market organiser. ‘The town already hosts an amazing food market once a month, attracting people from all corners of Devon, so let’s capitalise on its success and use it as a springboard to give the town an extra lift. A destination for a Sunday day-out, an extra monthly shopping day to benefit the town. Bring in more visitors and make everyone aware of what a wonderful town we have. A town full of diverse and eclectic shops, streets full of history and architecture and an atmosphere all its own. By adding more strings to the food markets bow, we can give this special day an extra vibrancy for one and all to enjoy the town, all the way from top to bottom – or vice versa!

A hilarious new film adaptation inspired by the irreverent, bestselling book series.

Atti (Sebastian Croft) is a Roman teenager with brains, but very little brawn. When one of his schemes falls foul of Emperor Nero (Craig Roberts), he joins the army and heads for miserable, cold, wet Britain, where the natives are revolting – quite literally. Things go from bad to worse when he’s captured by Orla (Emilia Jones), a feisty teenage Celt with dreams of becoming a warrior like Boudicca (Kate Nash). But will they fall on opposite sides or forge a friendship in the chaos of Celtic-inspired rebellion?

Event Details

A tremendously rich programme from the youthful Gildas Quartet, to open Harrison Birtwistle’s residency with us this week. Purcell’s Chacony directly inspired the Chaconne variations in Britten’s second quartet, composed to celebrate Purcell’s 250th anniversary in 1945. Harrison Birtwistle – a huge admirer of Henry Purcell – wrote The Tree of Strings for the Arditti Quartet, alternating moments of total stillness with passages of great athleticism and rhythmic energy, recalling his time lived in the Hebrides.

‘Birtwistle’s The Tree of Strings – an evocation of what might have survived of a lost musical culture on the Hebridean island of Raasay – is starting to emerge as one of his finest recent achievements. It seems to reveal more mysteries and beauties with every performance.’ The Guardian
