4 . Festival
of Healing Arts 8th to 9th December 2007
Dartmouth is
bracing itself for another festival. This time it's an
alternative extravaganza – Dartmouth's first Festival of
Healing Arts from the 8th to 9th of December at the Flavel.
The organisers, Kerry and Colin Lambert, ran DevonSailing
for a number of years and now have turned their hands to
this new venture which aims to raise funds for Dartmouth
Caring (£1 of every entrance ticket will go to them).
A number of complementary therapists will be on hand,
including those practising reflexology, reiki, shiatsu,
acupressure
massage and allergy testing. Visitors can have a free
session in the Taster Tent, attend a talk or workshop,
listen to music or dance to the six piece band ‘One Hand
Clapping’ on Saturday evening. There will be a bazaar
in the main hall, made up of stalls selling among other
things, ethnic/natural clothing, books & buddhas, healing
jewellery stones and crystals and natural skin products.
The Royal Castle with be providing a festival menu over the
weekend, as will Kendricks and Flavours Café at the Flavel.

6 . Woodlands
and bats!
 
Saving British Bats
For the first time in the UK bats can be seen in an indoor
nocturnal environment at the British Bat Sanctuary at
Woodlands Leisure Park near Dartmouth. Sylvia Bevis from the
Devon Bat Group is very excited about the project “I have
been working with bats for twenty years” she said “for the
first time the public will be able to see British bats
behaving naturally in a habitat planned to suit their needs.
“The bats needs are of paramount importance” Sylvia
concluded “Experience has taught us that after a day or two
they will be eager to leave their roost. It will be
interesting to watch their behaviour as they explore the 128
sq.ft. sanctuary. We have provided stimulating ‘toys’ to
encourage the bats to settle down in their new home. It will
be a very exciting time, not only for the Devon Bat Group
but everyone who takes the opportunity to visit the British
Bat Sanctuary” The British Bat Sanctuary will be
open at Woodlands Nocturnal House ready for the half term
Halloween celebrations. The daily admission to Woodlands
includes entrance to the British Bat Sanctuary.
