Delighted to be supporting the arts in East Devon..!
03rd Apr 2024
The Farringdon Society of Arts will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year. With a series of cultural events planned, there’s lots to look forward to, and here at LittlePod, we’re proud to be playing our part.
Did you know...?
Like the FSA, the Devon Artist Network is also celebrating its 20th year in 2024!
Supporting the arts in East Devon has always been high on our agenda at LittlePod. Janet – our founder and MD – is also Director of the Farringdon Society of Arts, which turns 20 this year. You might not know this, but our respective stories are intertwined. Had it not been for the FSA, founded in 2004, we might not be here today. Indeed, it was an event in the village hall – titled Vanilla Spice & All Things Nice – that inspired our Campaign for Real Vanilla and led to the launch of LittlePod.
Fast forward a few years and, as the FSA prepares to celebrate its 20th anniversary, we’re delighted to be lending our backing and playing our part. Janet and the team are organising a week-long series of cultural events, including live music and drama. Due to run between September 16th and 22nd, this will include an art exhibition at Farringdon’s Springs Gallery, which is right on our doorstep here at LittlePod. This has been timed to coincide with Devon Open Studios, the Devon Artist Network’s annual flagship event, that last visited the village in 2022.
Back then, the Found in Farringdon exhibition featured the work of Imogen Hallam, Dave Robinson, Allie Giles and Lisa Hammond. Imogen, Dave and Allie will all be involved again. This autumn’s event will include an exhibition documenting the last two decades, with talks and demonstrations from various FSA figures and familiar faces from both the society’s past and present also planned. Here at LittlePod, we look forward to welcoming visitors to the village in the months ahead.
Open-air theatre at LittlePod
In the meantime, we also have the return of open-air theatre to LittlePod to prepare for. The Cygnet Theatre players are due to perform in our garden once again on Wednesday, 10th July. This year’s performance will be The Comedy of Errors.
For full details and ticket information – and all the latest updates in the lead up to September – please keep an eye on our blog and follow @little_pod on Instagram.
There’s lots going on and, here at LittlePod, we’re delighted to be supporting the arts in East Devon once again.
