Letterbox Adrian Sykes at Marine House Adrian Sykes a Bristol based artist, is set to tickle artistic taste buds in Devon this Autumn with his solo show from 29th September 12th October 2018 at Marine House at Beer. With a prize-winning reputation for his paintings which are both inventive and alternative, Adrian won the Young Masters Art Prize in 2012, as well as numerous art prizes throughout the South West. Well known for his quirky and humorous paintings, Adrian has also won both the prestigious Bath Art Prize and Bristol Art Prize, by always being able to provoke a smile. Defined by his joyous yet intriguing compositions, his work is grounded in his deep appreciation of remote landscapes and his love for townscapes. Semi - abstract in nature, it is intriguing to hear Adrianʼs response when asked whether his artworks are based on real the world or if they are completely taken from his imagination. “I am very much drawn to a sense of intrigue in any work of art, from a door slightly ajar or a curtain blowing through an open window, to a mysterious lone figure walking through the woods. I like the play of suggested narrative without being too heavy handed with the meaning, as I like to leave things open to interpretation as there is no one way to define how certain symbols will affect our subconscious.” As a rising star on the UK art scene, it was no surprise that Adrianʼs first solo show at Marine House at Beer in 2017 was a complete sell out. His upcoming Autumn solo show at Marine House at Beer will showcase 35 new works, which are often happy and playful, but also combine elements of challenge, arduous travelling, restriction, and loneliness. www.marinehouseatbeer.co.uk Specsavers new store A NEW store has opened up in Honiton while the town’s local Specsavers undergoes a swanky refurbishment. Honiton Specsavers store director, Stephen Auty and his team are delighted to welcome customers to their new, temporary store, located at Lace Walk, while the ambitious project is underway work to the previous store in the High Street will mean an even greater array of eye health services will be available to residents - as well as one of the largest selections of glasses and contact lenses.

Greenfingers was never part of the original plan for Geoff and Trisha. They arrived in a cattle transporter from living and working on a farm in Yorkshire after seeing a derelict piece of land while on holiday in Devon. Geoff and Trisha moved to Devon with a dream after realising the three acre farm was a possibility. Geoff says “my Father in law was a builder so converting the barn into a house was right up his street. I remember his words well as we took the roof off ” all we need is one week without rain “ it did not rain for 5 months the year was 1976. Our project to grow vegetables to sell from a farm shop was almost stillborn”. “Three children under five years old, a shop to open and vegetables and fruit to grow - this was a very big ask. It did not daunt us and with September sees the premiere of a brand new play commissioned by Buckfast Abbey as part of their Millennium celebrations. Produced and presented by Unleashed Theatre Company, ‘The Millennium Mysteries’ is a modern take on the medieval Yorkshire Mystery Plays as well as cleverly incorporating the monks very own history over the last thousand years. The Millennium Mysteries runs from Wednesday 5th Sept through to Saturday 8th Sept, nightly at 7.30pm with a matinee on the Saturday at 2.30pm. Tickets can be purchased online at www.buckfast.org.uk/whats-on the optimism and enthusiasm of youth, Tricia and I set about the task. Now 40 years later we still meet some of those original customers without their support we would not be here today.” “The farm shop lasted ten years, then Tesco came to town and like a lot of other small retailers we almost disappeared. With some good fortune we managed to make the change from selling food to selling plants and Greenfingers was born”.
