GYROSCOPE
GYROSCOPE tells the story of how we are reinventing the Dartington Project for the 21st century, and exploring how a place can help people live a more fulfilled life: from the food we eat, to the art that inspires us, to the communities that we’re part of and the impact we have on the world around us.

🍂 “I’m so glad to live in a world where there are October’s” wrote Lucy Montgomery in Anne of Green Gables. This autumn light really can take one’s breath away. Come for a woodland walk up at Dartington and prepare for your soul to be well and truly nourished! 🍂 #devonwalks #woodland #autumnvibes🍁 #totnes #dartington
It was one of those misty mornings...
🍂 We are just so lucky to be able to enjoy this work by one of the most significant British artists of the twentieth century. Henry Moore’s biographer, Roger Berthoud, described “Reclining Figure” in Dartington Hall’s gardens as “perhaps the most serene and elegiac piece of Moore's entire career, perfectly balanced and harmonious from the unusually detailed head with its far-seeing gaze down through the rhythmically handled drapery and up to the sharply raised hill of the right knee...”. For the first time this November, you will be able to see this important piece in a new light as we #illuminatethegardens each Thurs - Sun throughout the month. It will be completely spectacular and we cannot wait. For details and to book your evening visit, head to the website via the link in our bio. #henrymoore #sculpture #arttrail #heritagegardens #illuminations #autumn #devon #southhams #totnes #dartingtonhall
A Halloween Spooktacular! - 30th & 31st October @dartingtonhall, South Devon - a frightfully wonderful spookfest for all the family! Book early bird tickets via link in bio 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 This Halloween, Dartington Hall will be taken over by Lord Jake England-Johns, the Lord of Haunted Dartington…bringing with him his band of fire breathers, stilt walkers, jugglers, light workers DJs and more for a spook-tacular carnival to remember! To celebrate we will be illuminating our gardens after dark, turning them in to a magical and gloriously spooky trail. Lighting the way through the grounds, our trail will lead you to hideaways where you can take part in the creepiest of crafts, grab a toffee apple surrounded by soundscapes, or be thrilled by seriously spooky storytelling in the graveyard. ON THE NIGHT! - Illuminated magical trail through our boo-tiful gardens... - Fire breathers and stilt walkers to astound and astonish... - Jugglers & glow acrobats with spooktacular stunts - Halloween projections & chilling soundscapes - Diabolical disco in the Great Hall - Spooky storytelling in the graveyard - Ghostly Craft Zone for making Halloween goodie - Face painting for little monsters - Yummy food and drink stalls …think crepes, hot choccy, and spiced warm cider along with flaming BBQ and vegan goodies! ** Suitable for all ages – think "silly spooky", not "scary spooky"!
