To coincide with the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, we’ve organised a special loan to @brixhamlibrary! 🇬🇧👑 This incredible tapestry was embroidered by Eden Park Primary pupils in 1988 to mark the Queen’s visit to Torbay. Currently on display with photographs until 12th June.

We love this connection between historical and present day maritime Brixham
@heritage_crafts So excited @heritage_crafts to be receiving grant in Brixham to pot with the withy pots off the South Devon coast. Can't wait to get going with a higher volume of pot making and using them to catch lobster here off the Brixham coast as they used to many years ago ... 🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞

Agree! @BrixhamMuseum is so proud of its stewards for rising to the challenge of opening to visitors with such care & positivity
This year is certainly different to what we all imagined. We've shared some reflections on staying #positive during these times & what #TorbayCulture has been doing https://t.co/dzhTNUYPj2
