We are more than delighted that The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall will be attending the Big Picnic held on Simonsbath Water Meadows next Wednesday, 17 July. The Exmoor Society, as one of the event partners, will have a large section of a marquee dedicated to showcasing its work, and past Pinnacle Award winners will also be present displaying their business ventures. During the day, we will be putting on some activities including pop-up poetry-reading, demonstrations by a resident artist , a playlet about R D Blackmore and Lorna Doone, and a short guided walk along the Barle Valley. All 500 free tickets for the event were snapped up within days.
