In The work between the lines, John Court’s first UK solo exhibition, new works will be shown alongside drawings and performances produced over the last fifteen years. His output includes performance, sculpture and video, but he considers all his work to be fundamentally concerned with drawing, in that drawing connects the elements of line, movement, space and time.

What a great night we had on 5th November, courtesy of The Exeter Daily. I just can't believe how much money must have been spent on the fireworks, the pictures on this site are great but don't do the event full justice. The display went on for ages and the fireworks were spectacular from start to finish, towards the end it was mind-blowing with lots all being set off at the same time and merging together in the cold night sky. Great that it was a clear night, even though very cold.
Thank you Round Table, well worth a visit and I will be coming again next year !
