***FULLY BOOKED***Sunday 25th October 10am til 1.30pm Skillshare with Courage Copse Creatives and Bulworthy Project rainwater harvesting and purification discussion and knowledge share ***FULLY BOOKED***Join us with our experts to see how best to harvest and store rainwater and purify it for drinking water. The owner-managers of Courage Copse Creatives will take you through the types of water collection and storage they used: some that worked, some that didn't, and some that should've been implemented earlier in their journey. From the very basic and temporary to their final fully consumable drinking water, all from rainwater harvesting.The day will be facilitated by Vince and Katy, who've lived off-grid on site since 2012. They arrived with limited technical know-how, learning by trial and error. They originally lived in static caravans and, more recently, in their self-designed and built, completely off-grid eco-home.
Derek vs Derek Film Screening Chulmleigh Town Hall Friday 6th November 7pm for 7.30pm start. Free screening first come first served! Seating for 70. On a country road in Devon, intensive dairy farmer Derek Banbury is horrified at the “devastation” of his neighbour’s once productive farm. Dubbed a “maverick rewilder” by the media, Derek Gow is an unrepentant ex-sheep farmer hellbent on turning his land into an oasis for nature. Shot over three years the film charts the two Derek’s turbulent relationship, as tempers fray, wild animals run amok, and the land is radically transformed. Made by award-winning director James Dawson, it’s a film about land use and farming told by farmers. Blunt, funny and heartwarming in equal measure
POWER STATION Film Screening Chulmleigh Town Hall Friday 15th January '27 7pm for 7.30pm start. Two artists in Walthamstow set out to take their street off the grid,kickstarting a solar-powered energy revolution. Inspired by lockdown mutual aid initiatives, artist-activists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn decided to turn their street into an energy-generating powerhouse – a prototype for a new way of living, with the hope of galvanising a wider push towards sustainable alternatives. Directed by the duo, POWER STATION charts their turbulent journey, from pitching the idea to their neighbours and sleeping on the roof of their home, to raising finance and launching a bid for a Christmas number one single. By turns funny and heartwarming, Powell and Edelstyn’s film is a vibrant portrait of their local neighbourhood, and a charming testament to the power of art in changing minds about what could be possible.

'Jo In The Water' Film Screening. 6.30pm for 7.00pm start. Chumleigh Town Hall
Jo in the Water follows a passionate sea swimmer turned reluctant activist, Exmouth-based Jo Bateman, as she takes on one of the UK’s biggest water companies in a David-and-Goliath battle to protect our waters from devastating sewage pollution.
As Jo’s courage helps ignite a growing movement, this film exposes the dire state of our water system and asks: who will stand up for our right to swim in clean natural waters, for the species and communities that rely upon them?
Jo in the Water is a feature-length documentary made by award-winning filmmakers with a strong track record of bringing powerful stories to our cinema screens. It is not just about water pollution; it is about connection—to nature, to our own sense of place, and to our responsibility for the world around us.
There is a panel discussion after the screening.
