COFFEE TIME TALKS BEGIN AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY 2ND SEPTEMBER

The new season of Fairlynch Museum Coffee Time Talks returns shortly and we have our usual eclectic mix of topics to entertain and educate on the first Wednesday of every month until spring next year.

It seems odd to be writing about Christmas and the Ice Age in Devon whilst we are experiencing an unprecedented heatwave. However, this is Budleigh Salterton and if you don’t like the weather just wait an hour or so and it will soon change. 

To start the season local artist Lynda Kettle will tell us the inside story of life designing the sets for some of our favourite BBC dramas. More details of the talks can be found on this website under 'EVENTS'.

So put these dates in your diary… and we'll see you there!

2nd Sept Lynda Kettle: My Life in TV, thoughts on a career as BBC drama set designer.
7th Oct Brian Margetson: Ghost, Royals and Ferrymen
4th Nov. Becks Pearson: Women’s Land Army in Devon
2nd Dec: David White Christmas visitors
6th Jan 27 Chris Woodward: The Ice Age in the South West
3rd Feb. Robert Hesketh: The Pirates of Devon
3rd Mar Trevor Waddington: Budleigh’s own master architect William Hatchard-Smith
7th  Apr TBA. (but it won’t be Flo Prialo!)
