GeoQuest

Tuesday 25 - Monday 31 May
Venues across the English Riviera

A journey of exploration around Torbay, featuring a week of walking, workshops and performances to celebrate the English Riviera Global GeoPark, a UNESCO area of outstanding scientific interest in Torbay.
What more appropriate way to highlight our geological history than a journey through our GeoPark? A performance walk from the Valley of the Rocks at Watcombe to Berry Head in Brixham, during which the landscape will be re-examined through historical research and artistic creativity.
Three 'Questors' - musician Hugh Nankivell, Dartington's featured composer of the year, writer Phil Smith and performer Tony Liddington - will travel Torbay by foot, creating, finding and telling new ideas, stories and songs about the land and the communities they pass, and inventing a new geocultural map. In a series of events along the way the artists will animate the great transformations that have formed our landscape and our lives.
A GeoQuest evening starts at 6pm when you can join the Questors for a short, exploratory walk, followed by a 8pm performance, a talk from a GeoPark expert and a simple shared meal (included in the ticket price).

Walks start at 6pm; performance/talk suppers at 8pm (advance tickets only).
