For this years DartFest we have a special treat… not one but two of our Dartmoor groups will be performing their very own plays!

Wild Nights Young Company’s production this year explores the lives of teenagers growing up on Dartmoor over the years and how living rurally can, sometimes, cause problems with communications…
