The Beehive Honiton is re-launching its annual science festival next year - the Festival of Imagination in 2023.
Until then, a smaller-scale ‘Imagining our Festival’ is also taking place this July, with the theme of ‘Our Environment’.
The event begins on Friday (July 15) with a musical comedy show ‘Armageddon Attenborough!’ at 7.30pm. Tickets are £6.
A spokesperson said to "expect outrageous costume changes, close(ish) harmonies, ballads, a buttload of exposition, and the sullying of a beloved National Treasure.”
The production is from Bumnote with artist Chris White and musician Hal Kelly.
On Saturday, July 16, there will be a guided walk. People should meet in The Beehive car-park at 10 am and be ready to explore some of Honiton's green spaces including the Glen, the Gissage and Roundball Hill.
People are asked to book a place in advance so guides Jo Lowman and Ian Jeeves know the numbers and to cover the cost of your coffee and cake in the café on return (£2.50).
