Helen Detsicas
A really lovely venue. The music evenings have a very special atmosphere with the musicians being so close to their audience. And with the art exhibitions, films and great coffee this should be somewhere to visit regularly.
Chelston Gallery
The Blue Walnut has a selection of art on display from here at Chelston Gallery. Their first collection was by David Norman, and their current one is a representative exhibition for those artists showing here as part of Devon Open Studios. Future exhibitions at The Blue Walnut will also feature locally produced work, so giving another valuable space in the Bay for local artists to show their work. Couldn't be better!
Kevin Alexander
A great Multi-Arts venue. Debbie and Gary have recently taken on this highly respected little venue and have made a super start - I wish them all success with their music, cinema, arts and other events. This place should be on everybody's to-visit-regularly list.
