Festival website goes green

West Buckland Festival website is powered by 100% wind energy. The machines hosting their site and e-mail are fully eco-friendly! As energy awareness continues to grow, people are not just looking to make lifestyle adjustments, they want to make environmentally responsible decisions, this site is powered by renewable energy. Contact North Devon Web for details on how to make your business website more in tune with today’s responsible business (moral and environmental) obligations.

The Festival will start on Thursday 8th and end on the late evening of Sunday 11th September 2011

Thursday evening:

The Festival will commence at 7p.m on Thursday when The Gallery Exhibition will be open for viewing in St Peter’s Church. There will be a Special Preview, between 7 and 9pm; and this year we shall have another innovation – a series of Mini Master Classes, when visitors will have the opportunity to listen to and discuss with some of the Artists and Crafts people (with easels or craft tools and equipment). They will be in attendance to talk about their work to small groups of people in different parts of St Peter’s Church. We shall publish details of who will do short talks/ demonstrations of their work at a later date. First class refreshments will be available as well as wine and soft drinks. Many Works of art will be for sale.



Friday evening:

This year we shall have a special Classical Concert featuring well known music composed in the 19th and early 20th century – Paganini, Bizet, Ravel, Grieg and maybe a touch of Elgar. We shall, as always feature some young musicians near the top of their skills. Many will come from North Devon but will be at Music Schools around the UK.

Saturday evening:

In 2009 we had Music Hall, in 2010 it was Cabaret and this year the Show will be pure Variety.We have already booked three favourites from past years – Louise Lloyd – the beautiful Soprano, who two years ago led a packed audience in Land of Hope and Glory, is back and will be as great a pleasure as ever.

Sunday evening:

On Sunday 11 th September the West Buckland Festival will have the first really well known international STAR that we have booked. We cannot say who that will be yet; the Contract has been signed, but there are still a few i’s to dot before we can make the announcement; this will be in March. So, stand by to buy your tickets – space is limited and we know that so many of you will WANT to come. Enough said – for now!
During the run up to the West Buckland Festival (North Devon, UK) we will be sending out information and special offers to people who receive our Newsletter. If you would like to receive our Newsletter please enter your email into the form here.

One to One English Language Courses

For those who come to Exmoor to do a three, four or five day ENDELS Course there is the opportunity to travel over the beautiful hills and valleys of Exmoor and to see if you can find any Stags. It is not easy. We cannot guarantee that you will see any Red Deer herds but we can do our best in the time that you are here.

That is the beauty of an ENDELS Course. You are invited here for one-to-one tuition to improve your spoken English. And, at the same time you can, with your partner, have a special leisure time programme – that may include searching for the Emperor Red Stag or for other herds of Red Deer. Read more…

The web is like Celtic Art

Those annoying little pixies with high pitched voices that scream in your head and go around and around, first one way then the other (stare at the image right). They simply just won’t stop unless you get proactive and do something positive…My website needs hits, my web site needs hits my website needs traffic…
Did you realise that millions and millions of people use the Internet daily for their primary source of news? With this simple piece of information in mind why not create a news release that is topical, relevant to your site and optimised for web searches. This simple process used in blogs or emailed newsletters might get the attention of the journalists and newshounds and maybe lead to bigger media coverage. It worked for us!
The web is like Celtic Art, it is interwoven, an endless knot, which could drive you mad if you try to unravel it. Stop the voices…My website needs visitors, my web site needs visitors my website needs traffic…

Celtic art is ornamental, decorative, avoiding straight lines and only sometimes using symmetry. Celtic art is a combination of various styles and draws upon influences from several cultures. Motifs are: knotwork, spirals, key patterns, lettering, zoomorphics, plant forms and human figures.
