Events Seven Fables has hosted many exhibitions, workshops and book signings over the years - all we hope with a little magic! Last year we welcomed writers Hannah Stowe, Katherine May, Catrina Davies, and Jackie Morris joined us for our 21st birthday celebrations. 2024 was a busy year for our small creative team hosting Fiona Williams, Sarah Easter Collins, Dani Robertson and Catherine Hyde. We also ventured out making appearances at the Exmoor Festival of Nature, The Exeter City of Literature Book Market, and supporting literary events for The Exmoor Society. Looking ahead to 2025, we are thrilled to be organising the exhibition and launch for Unbound's Wild Folk by Tamsin Abbott and Jackie Morris.

Feather, Leaf, Bark & Stone announces a new departure for Jackie Morris and confirms her as an artist and writer at the peak of her power. This book is full of the light and wind that fills the Pembrokeshire coast where it was crafted, each page anchored to the landscape by the mechanical rhythm of Jackie's antique typewriters. The result is a collection of individual artworks to be both looked at and read. It is poetry re-imagined by a visual artist; words transformed back into their original function as images. Copies purchased directly from Seven Fables will also be stamped with a unique golden labyrinth and signed. Pre-order between now and 7th June to be entered into the Seven Fables' draw. The prize is a stunning labyrinth stone and its golden soul.

Sun, 08 Sept | Seven Fables September - Sophie Pierce Join us for a walk, talk and optional wild swim! Book Now Time & Location 08 Sept 2024, 16:00 – 19:00 Seven Fables, Ashcombe Carpark, Simonsbath, Exmoor TA24 7SH About the event Sophie Pierce is a writer with a passionate interest in our emotional connection to natural landscapes. Her most recent publication, Wild Swimming Walks: Exmoor & North Devon is the fifth in this popular, best-selling series, co-written with fellow walker and swimmer Matt Newbury. The book features twenty-eight magical swims across the region and we will be walking to one of Exmoor’s most remote, idyllic pools. You are invited to bring a picnic to enjoy by the river so do bring a blanket or cushion to sit on. Sophie’s essays have been published in The Clearing (Little Toller Books) and Caught by the River. Her memoir, The Green Hill: Letters to a son (Unbound, March 2023), is a celebration of the natural world and the role it plays in our lives and relationships, as well as an examination of how beauty, a sense of place and the passing seasons can help us contend with our own mortality. Above all, The Green Hill is Sophie’s story of navigating through trauma and loss, and towards a fragile, complicated kind of joy. 'The Green Hill is an extraordinary book… I thought of the fairy tale in which a captured princess must weave clothes from stinging nettles: Sophie Pierce has wrought something beautiful and useful from the darkest pain' Cressida Connolly, novelist and critic Copies of The Green Hill are available to order from Seven Fables HERE WALK DETAILS A level of walking fitness is required and dress appropriately as we walk in all weathers. *Swimming is optional and undertaken at your own judgement.
