<h4>You are invited to an open community meeting to help shape a future programme of cultural festivals across Dartmoor.​</h4> The River &amp; Moorland Festivals are a series of exciting, community focused cultural festivals that will take place between 2025 and 2029. The events will focus on the areas of Okehampton, Ivybridge and Princetown, the communities that live and work on the Moors and along Dartmoor’s river catchments - the Okement, the Dart and the Erme &amp; Yealm.​ Event Producers <a href="https://www.eea.org.uk" title="https://www.eea.org.uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Emergency Exit Arts</a> and <a href="https://www.flocksouthwest.org/" title="https://www.flocksouthwest.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Flock South West</a> will work with you to create something meaningful and worthwhile, bringing in the knowledge, creativity and energy that can be found across the Moors.We are inviting you to join us for an initial opening meeting to talk openly about what the festivals might look like and how they work.
