A wonderfully informative and inspiring talk by John Parker (CEO of the Arboricultural Association) in association with Weston Tree and Plant Group.

A wonderfully informative and inspiring talk by John Parker (CEO of the Arboricultural Association) in association with Weston Tree and Plant Group.
Throughout history, and around the world, there has been a special link between trees and people. Trees feature prominently in mythology, religion, culture and folklore, and certain images – like the world tree, or trees in creation myths – recur over and over again.
In this presentation, using established texts and original research, John Parker will talk about how trees have shaped the human story and will describe some of the reasons that people have always venerated trees, and how that veneration has influenced the culture of communities around the globe.

The Front Room is a fantastic addition to Weston’s cultural scene. The team brings quality work into Weston, which wouldn’t get to be seen otherwise, and provide a unique platform for local artists to perform.

The Front Room is fantastic. I have seen so many brilliant shows there in the short space since they opened. It is brilliant. It is exactly what Weston super Mare has so badly needed.

Great to have this venue in Weston super Mare! On the site of the old pizza express, this theatre has fully accessible facilities and refreshments available on site. We saw a brilliant family show put on by Kid Carpet and the Noisy Animals. Fantastic!
