SUMMARY:SONGS at an EXHIBITION – Paintings by Tony Hopkins\, Monday 8 to Saturday 20 June
DESCRIPTION:Local artist Tony Hopkins presents a fascinating array of paintings inspired by 60s and 70s comics\, record sleeves\, advertising\, posters\, ephemera and “by the people  places and traditions I have known and loved in the local community over the past thirty years.” \nArtist\, musician and songwriter Tony Hopkins studied in Newcastle\, Five Acres FoD\, Falmouth and Somerset and worked in adult education with SEN groups and within local communities\, using creativity to reach hard-to-engage adult learners. He currently plays music locally and runs a music group for adults who have suffered head injuries. \nHe writes: “I don’t like slick digital emptiness or excessive reliance on technique\, preferring simple and direct images and/or collisions of themes (all the unsorted washing in the tub on spin cycle to shrink\, let colours run and make a jumble of patterns through the glass) to create images in which the viewer can create their own narratives.”

SUMMARY:People’s Emergency Briefing – Tuesday 9 June\, 11.00am
DESCRIPTION:In November 2025\, the National Emergency Briefing brought together leading experts to present the latest evidence on the climate and nature crisis to 1\,500 politicians and other influential people in Westminster. The next step is to take this vital message across the UK\, bringing together people from across local communities to hear the evidence and discuss how to respond. \nThis film brings this evidence together in a single\, accessible format designed for public engagement.\nThe screening will be followed by a short refreshment break and a facilitated discussion. \nPlaces are limited to 40\, so please make sure of a seat by booking ahead using the free ticket form below and arriving in good time on the day. \nA lift to our first-floor Gallery is available if you have difficulty using the stairs. \nNB If you are unable to attend on this date and would like to have details of other local screenings\, please email peopleseb@bloggo.co.uk. \n \nLord Deben\nFormer chair\, UK Climate Change Committee – 2012 to 2023 \n“The National Emergency Briefing could not be more timely. The science is moving fast\, and every year the risks become clearer. Britain has led before\, and we must lead again – not with words\, but with action to protect our people\, our prosperity and our children’s future. But first\, all policymakers must ensure they are fully informed.” \n \nProfessor Joanna Haigh CBE\nFormer president of the Royal Meteorological Society\, Professor of Atmospheric Physics and Head of the Department of Physics at Imperial College London \n“We face a climate emergency. MPs need to be awake to the risks and ready for action\, which is why I ask them to prioritise attending a local screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing film.” \n \nProfessor Michael Mann\nPresidential Distinguished Professor in the Department of Earth & Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania \n“I urge all policymakers to engage with this critically important scientific advice. I’d like to see a National Emergency Briefing in every country.”

SUMMARY:ABSTRACTSION – Paintings by Sam Wilkins and Eleanor Woolley\, Tuesday 30 June to 12 July\, 10.00am to 4.00pm daily
DESCRIPTION:As part of this year’s FarOpen Trail\, we’re delighted to host an exhibition by Sam Wilkins who specialises in semi-abstract landscapes of the local area and Eleanor Woolley\, whose portraits and observations of the human scene are equally bold and characterful. \nSam Wilkins\nIn her landscapes\, Sam seeks out the geometry in the shapes before her\, finding patterns\, playing with negative space and trying to find that delicate equilibrium\, similar to an algebraic equation\, that balances colour\, texture and form to create a pleasing outcome. \n \nEleanor Woolley\nBased in Gloucestershire\, Eleanor is a figurative and landscape painter\, taking her inspiration from both the urban and rural landscape and the human interaction within it. After gaining a BA Hons in Sculpture at Leeds University\, she travelled for some time in Asia before coming home to study furniture-making. Eleanor worked as a cabinet-maker and a restorer before returning to Fine Art painting. \n

SUMMARY:From COUNTDOWN to MONGOLIA: The Travels of NICK HEWER - Thursday 16 July\, 7.30pm
DESCRIPTION:Best known as the host of the TV quiz show Countdown and as Lord Sugar’s adviser on the The Apprentice\, Nick Hewer has a passion for travel that has taken him to some of the most hostile and remote corners of the globe. Learn how he drove a 20-year-old Renault 4L solo from London to Mongolia for charity – and discover a very different side to the man once described as ‘the nation’s favourite silver-haired great uncle’! \nTickets £10 available to book below. Drinks and snacks available at the bar. All welcome.\nPlease note that a lift is available to the first-floor Gallery. \nAbout Nick Hewer\nNick’s career began in public relations\, where he built an impressive client list which included many top British and international names. In the 1980s\, his firm was selected to represent the consumer electronics giant Amstrad\, and Nick became responsible for handling all Alan Sugar’s business and charitable activities. After selling his business\, he retired early to his house in south-west France but soon found himself called back by Lord Sugar and persuaded to take an onscreen role alongside him in the TV show The Apprentice. “I fought hard against it\,” says Nick\, “but he cajoled me – in a muscular sort of way.” Nick and his original opposite number Margaret Mountford went on to become the surprise stars of one of the longest-running and most popular shows on British television. \n

SUMMARY:SOUND BATH MEDITATION - Monday 17 August\, 7.00-8.00pm
DESCRIPTION:Let the gentle vibrations produced by sound instruments soothe away your stresses and strains as you experience the unique relaxing calm of a sound bath meditation. Sessions held fortnightly in the George Gallery\, £10. For further details or to reserve a place\, please phone or text Katie Potter on 07415 302262. \n\nHealth benefits\nWhether you’re seeking relief from physical pain\, emotional distress\, or looking for peace\, sound baths can bring many benefits for physical and mental health: \n\nStress reduction and anxiety relief: Vibrations produced by the instruments are thought to interact directly with the body’s energy centres\, relieving stress and anxiety by shifting the nervous system from the fight-or-flight response to a state of rest.\nImproved sleep quality: Soothing sound waves can promote deep relaxation\, making it easier for the body to transition into sleep.\nEnhanced mental clarity and focus: A sound bath can help clear away the clutter of incessant thoughts and worries\, helping concentration and focus.\nDeepened meditation and spiritual insight: The vibrations of sound baths are thought to help you connect with your subconscious mind\, allowing inner exploration and self-discovery. Sometimes people experience profound insights or epiphanies during a sound bath.\nPhysical healing and pain relief: Sound bath meditation is thought to stimulate circulation\, enhance immune response\, and may promote the healing of tissues and cells. People with chronic pain conditions\, such as arthritis or fibromyalgia\, often note a reduction in symptoms.\nEmotional release and healing: Sound baths can create a safe space for emotional exploration and release. Because they’re thought to release emotions\, powerful sound waves may help people heal past traumas or deal with grief.
