Exhibition: Games People Play

Exhibition: 6 April-30 September. Admission free

British and Foreign Birds 1820, board game by William Darton, engraving on paper

with linen backing, Private collection

Games hold a mirror to civilization; they build bonds, trust and strengthen social relationships. For the Cultural Olympiad, CCANW is exploring what games can tell us about ‘human nature’; and how a deeper understanding of the advantages of cooperation can help us all to address the needs of the planet at this time.

An area of the gallery is reserved for visitors to try out wooden board games and to borrow outdoor games equipment which are also available for purchase.

Haldon Forest Park

Cafe Update

The Ridge Cafe next door is now open for business, under new ownership.

The Forestry Commission's pioneering activity trails at Haldon provide 20 miles of safe, off-road access for walkers, cyclists and horse riders, including play and sensory trails. The Forest lies on a ridge south of Exeter and dominates the skyline for miles around. It covers an area of 3500 acres (1400 hectares) mostly planted with coniferous woodland, but encompassing areas of broadleaved trees, streams and dramatic views to Dartmoor, Exeter and the Exe estuary.
