Notes from an Exmoor Diary featuring some characters of Exmoor: a talk by John Burgess

Location: Dulverton Heritage Centre
Duration: N/A
Description: Notes from an Exmoor Diary
Featuring some characters of Exmoor
A talk by John Burgess
For many years John Burgess worked for
the Exmoor National Park as a photographer.
During this time he got to know the people of Exmoor-
farmers, huntsmen, craftsmen.
Numbered amongst them were many warm hearted
Exmoor characters with wonderful tales to tell.
Years later as a BBC radio producer he revisited some of these
Exmoor people and recorded their stories.
Extracts from these recordings are woven into this fascinating talk
which gives a glimpse of life once lived on the moor.

Dark Skies Discovery Hub at Exford - Indoor Planetarium Presentation with Food & Optional Night Walk
Thursday 29th September 2022 1207
Location: Exford Bridge Tea Rooms
Duration: 3 hours
Description: In collaboration with Exmoor National Park we have got together with Bruce and Claire at the Exford Bridge Tearooms so we can cater for larger groups, stargazing parties and corporate events.
Every Tuesday night at 7.00pm summer, (6.00pm start in winter), we will be open for an indoor planetarium presentation with delicious food and a “No question is a silly question” sociable chat session. The indoor event is followed by an optional shortish walk out into the dark sky reserve to try out tablet and phone apps and to watch the stars come out, depending on the time of year.
This is suitable for all ages, individuals and small groups, and a good option if you are less keen on walking, or the weather is not good!
Otherwise please make contact and we can chat about any sort of starry event that you can dream up! We have 3 telescopes, a laser pointer for constellations, binoculars and loads of information about local stargazing. Endless enthusiasm plus the tearooms are fully licenced and happy to cater for your “Do”, from cream teas through barbecues to a “just desserts” evening. Once the evenings draw in we can head out for a spot of stargazing or a night hike as well.
