Mostyn's Sandbox

Reminisce as you travel through time along the oldest working ship canal in Europe with a choice of departure from Exmouth or Exeter. Sailing through two working locks and the Countess Wear swing bridge, this cruise presents the perfect opportunity to explore the historic quayside of Exeter and enjoy a spot of lunch at one of the many independent eateries.

The Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) is holding a Drowning Prevention Day hosted by Exmouth National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) and supported by the RNLI at Coastwatch House on Exmouth Sea front. All three organisations will talk about drowning prevention, beach and water safety. There will be free colouring sheets, demonstrations of rescue equipment and quizzes for kids as well as information on local hazards and what to do in an emergency. The Exmouth RNLI Water Safety Team will advise on Lifejackets and show you how to check yours is safe, so bring yours along.

Steam Gallery is delighted to be hosting an exceptional new show ‘Poetry in Glass’ by Bob Crooks. One of Britain’s most highly recognised glassmakers, Bob is well-known for his original and challenging dynamic forms that exploit the many properties of studio glass. Bob works his glass magic in a studio in deepest Devon, and his output ranges from fine wine glasses to imaginative and elegant sculptural forms. Creating these perfect works requires the highest skill and concentration, especially with the ever-present threat of disaster in this intense complex process! Bob has created a brand-new collection of over 20 unique pieces for this special show. Contact the gallery on 01297 625144 to request a catalogue to be sent to you in advance of the exhibition opening, or request an invite to join for the launch day on Saturday 19 June, when Bob will be present. You can see the pieces online, and all are available to purchase now.
