This event, hosted by the Centre for Rural Policy Research, forms part of a University of Exeter Arts and Culture arts commission with Simon Pope and the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery (RAMM) who have teamed up in a fascinating and thought-provoking new collaboration entitled ‘Here’s to Thee’ which seeks to uncover the complex ecology and cultures that surround the art of cider making.  Find out more at: https://www.artsandcultureexeter.co.uk/arts-commission/heres-to-thee
