This Sunday 7th June we will be at the Exeter UNESCO City of Literature #BookMarket, from 11am - 4pm at #Exeter Quay.
We'll be in the community tent, joined by author Sophie Pierce, chatting about #WildWords and the important relationships between #creativity, connection and #conservation.
We're honoured to have filmed with students from Churston Ferrers Grammar School to help create a Dartmoor focused entry for the global #Docathon film competition, answering questions from the young film makers about what made access to #Dartmoor so important.
