This Exhibition brings together artists whose work explores environments as a testament to our presence, existence, identity and our place in society.

Gardeners beware! 2016 heralds the year of the Sleepless Superslug

Wyevale Garden Centres is warning the gardeners of Britain to prepare for an increase of supersized slugs this spring, thanks to our unseasonably mild winter.

Due to a change in recent weather patterns and a lack of hard frost, our slug population is booming. Unlike snails, slugs are active above 5°c and Britain’s mild winter means they’ve been awake for a longer season than usual and therefore able to reproduce all winter – at a much faster rate than usual – the result of which is a population explosion.

Bike Shed Theatre, Exeter

"It’s a very sore subject around here. There are raw wounds.”

It’s been 30 years since the Battle of the Beanfield – a brutal crackdown on the annual Stonehenge Free Festival. Called away from policing the miners’ strike, officers enforced an injunction around the ancient stones with bloody violence and mass arrests.

Armed with a camera, a map and home-made riot gear, Breach set out to mark the anniversary with a historical re-enactment.

Onstage, the same performers try to capture the 2015 Stonehenge summer solstice: there’s hot dog stands, Hare Krishnas and MDMA-...
