Dartmoor Spring Residency - creative inspiration from an ancient landscape

Dartmoor Spring Residency – Creative Inspiration from an Ancient Landscape. Sunday 10th March – Thursday 14th March. A fantastic opportunity to spend time with like-minded people in the inspiring location of Dartmoor (Postbridge) YHA nestled on the edge of Bellever Forest in the centre of Dartmoor National Park. This fascinating opportunity is curated to inspire art practitioners, researchers and thinkers alike.

This residency offers an opportunity to spend time in the heart of the outstanding Dartmoor National Park.

We reside at the Dartmoor (Postbridge) YHA, set centrally within Dartmoor National Park. The hostel is surrounded by the open moorland and forest of Dartmoor National Park, with easy access to a network of off-road routes for walking and exploring the ancient sites in neighbouring Bellever Forest.

YHA Dartmoor is a comfortable rural retreat which boasts cosy features including a woodburner and exposed stone walls. The famous Dartmoor ponies often pay the hostel a visit from the nearby open moorland. There are lots of flora and fauna to explore. With a dedicated wildlife garden within the hostel grounds. We can also make use of the grounds for camping if preferred.

We welcome all art forms, with the residency providing an opportunity to immerse in the story of the ancient Dartmoor Landscape, with a large amount of ancient Bronze Age remains on the doorstep. The skies will be dark and there will be the opportunity to stargaze. Carolyn Kennett FRAS, our archaeo-astronomer will be on hand to answer any questions you may have..

We encourage creatives, researchers and enthusiasts of all disciplines; if you know anyone you think would be interested in the residency, please encourage them to apply.
