Exmouth Festival - Saturday part 1
Avtar, and a bubblebee...

It was hot, but that didn't stop hundreds of you joining in with Avtar and his bollywood moves. What a fabulous flashmob!
Did you see the bubblebee fairy? Did you get bubbled?

The Art Explora is in The Strand until Wednesday afternoon, and has had a very busy first day with lots of art-curious visitors!

The museum is a single room with a film viewing area at one end. There are paintings, sculptures and videos to look at on the theme of the sea, and a booklet giving you information about each one.

Morning sessions are bookable hour long slots for families which include a creative activity (booking link below). Afternoons are for drop-in visits.
The door is kept closed apart from entrance and exits to maintain the correct temperature for the artworks - which you'll be pleased to hear is nice and cool!

Access is via 6 steps, but there is a mobility lift - please call in advance if you would like to use the lift - the number and access details are here:
