Following a sell-out Edinburgh Fringe, a hit run at the Sydney Opera House and a Time Out and Soho Theatre TOAST Award nomination, Piff the Magic Dragon comes to Tiverton, accompanied by Mr Piffles the World’s First Million Dollar Chihuahua.
Piff’s appearance on Penn & Teller: Fool Us went viral racking up over 5 million hits on YouTube and his recent role as opening act for Mumford & Sons’ on their UK tour secured his position as folk rock’s favourite mythical creature. Come see him, with the brilliant musical shenanigans of Gareth Richards as opener... and Bristolian...
It’s the time of year for poring over the seed catalogues and deciding what to grow this year. But the cost of seeds is going up fast and it can be quite daunting to realise how much it will cost to grow all the different crops we might like.
But there is an alternative! Very few people need to use a whole pack of carrot seeds, so how about swapping half your pack for half a pack of lettuce seeds?
A seed swap is an opportunity to get together with other gardeners and swap seeds that you don’t need, or that you have collected from last year’s crops. Even if you have no...
Where does our bread come from? What’s in it? How hard is it to make?
Humans have been making some kind of bread for more than five thousand years - it’s central to our culture.
Think of the importance of bread in religious stories, or in the many expressions we use – "best thing since sliced bread"; "putting bread on the table"; and so on.
Originally just ground grains and water, then later leavened (risen) with yeast, bread has been a simple staple food throughout human history. But the bread we see today in supermarkets is full of additives, enzymes and...
As part of Exeter's Extreme Imagination Festival, The Bike Shed Theatre have joined up with Cube Theatre to bring you Freddy Dare and the Ginger Robber .
Fred Andrews is short for his age, can’t play football, and making friends at his new secondary school is proving difficult. His dad died a while ago, and Fred’s mum is too sad to pay attention to him. Fred wants to change his world, and so he does. He becomes Freddy Dare - a superhero with a glamorous accomplice, the Ginger Robber! Together, they must overcome The Mistress, steal their opportunity and tap dance their way to Vegas...
Fred’s lost his Dad, and now it looks like he might be losing his Mum too. Looks like a job for... FREDDY DARE and the GINGER ROBBER!
The toe-tapping twosome must dance with destiny, take on a terrifying quest, and stop their arch-enemy before it’s too late! But as Fred sinks deeper into the world of his imagination to avoid reality, will he ever be reunited with his mum?
Three weeks of events celebrating the works of Samuel Beckett
The centrepiece of the festival is one of Samuel Beckett's most celebrated works, Endgame . A depiction of the heart of an uncompromising relationship, laid out in ruthlessly beautiful poetry and image. Directed by Anthony Richards, Endgame features some of the best seasoned local performers.
There are also performances of Breath and A Piece of Monologue and extracts from All That Fall and Embers.
Surrounding Beckett’s own works, we have new performances from visiting groups of professionals and students...
The Exe Estuary in winter is one of the best places in the UK to get great views of avocets. With their black-and-white plumage, and slender, curved bills, you can’t miss them especially a flock of up to 500 when they’re sweeping the mud to search for tasty morsels.
Every winter, over 40,000 birds, including hundreds of black-tailed godwits, Brent geese and red-breasted mergansers, flock to the Exe Estuary from as far a field as Siberia and Greenland.
With expert commentary on each cruise, you'll learn something new and exciting about the Exe Estuary and its residents....
A few years ago, you would have been lucky to spot avocets anywhere, but today - a conservation success story.
