Debora Barnes Exhibition, 12–28 September, Redlynch Chapel
Debora is a passionate landscape photographer from the South Coast of Brazil living in Bruton, Somerset drawing inspiration from the distinct seasons of the UK, her love of nature, travelling, and the outdoors.
Debora feels that photography is not just a means of capturing a moment, but also a way of expressing her emotions and experiences in the natural world. Her work reflects the respect she has for the environment and the desire to preserve and celebrate its beauty.

The John Martyn Project – Thursday 25 September, 8pm
Six established musicians from the world of folk, pop and soul teamed up for a special concert at the Jazz Cafe in London to celebrate the wonderful musician John Martyn. The concert was such a success, they took the show on the road for a sell-out tour. The band features Blythe Pepino, Kit Hawes, Pete Josef and Sam Brookes, who reinterpret the many different aspects and eras of Martyn’s music. Join The John Martyn Project in the beautiful surroundings of St. Mary’s for an evening of reverence to a unique musical soul.
