This has been our 3rd year delivering the 'Sunshine Follies' training programme for emerging artists in South Devon - an unique programme combining self-employment and artform skills to help develop new talent in al fresco arts at the seaside. We had fantastic responses from the audiences and it provided a wonderful platform for the trainees, who received free training and then paid employment alongside their mentors at various seaside resorts during August. Hopefully, we shall be able to raise funds towards the 4th year of the programme in 2024... Here's a lovely little film of the project: ... See MoreSee Less

We have 2 talented local young trainees working with us - Thomas (10) from Teignmouth and Lucy (17) from Dawlish. BBC Spotlight came to film us rehearsing and we hope that will be transmitted on Monday, so keep an eye out for that in the next few days!
