Rain on the other hand, can bring relief for some people as it washes the pollen from the air. But there is no need to wish for rain at the Exmouth Carnival Spring Fun Day this Saturday to avoid your symptoms, as preparing early makes all the difference.

After a period of temporary closure in response to funding reductions, Spacex has changed the way it works. In place of being a gallery with a rolling programme of exhibitions Spacex now produces projects in collaboration with a wide range of partners.
