Funnier than the Black Death! Spamalot is back in a brand-new production and it will be at the Exeter Northcott from Monday 23 October.

A rare and remarkable looking spider has been discovered living at a North Devon nature reserve.
The spider in question is the strawberry spider, a species which is classified as ‘nationally scarce’ by arachnid experts. The discovery is thought to be one of only a handful of sightings in Devon since it was discovered near Ivybridge in 2008.
The strawberry spider was found at Devon Wildlife Trust’s Meeth Quarry nature reserve, the first time it had been seen at the North Devon wildlife haven which is close to the town of Hatherleigh.
