SUMMARY:Solstice Photography Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the seasons and explore the fascinating relationship between moon\, tide and lobster through this exhibition of a 6-year project  by photographer Mat Arney.\n\n\n\nOpens National Lobster Day: Friday 25th September 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“For the last five years\, I have been making “surfscape” images at my local beach at the minute of sunrise and sunset on the summer and winter solstices. \n\n\n\nI use long exposures and intentional camera movement techniques to create painterly images that blur the beach\, the waves\, and the clouds. The results capture the atmosphere and feeling on these key dates in our cycle of seasons.” \n\n\n\nVisit the Solstice Surfscape exhibition at The National Lobster Hatchery\, South Quay\, Padstow\, Cornwall\, UK. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition runs from September 25th 2026 until March 2027 and is included with admission to the Hatchery Visitor Centre.

SUMMARY:Dark Cornwall Presents: Lore of the Deep
DESCRIPTION:Easter 2027\, Dark Cornwall are expertly creating and curating Lore of the Deep\, in support of The National Lobster Hatchery.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLore of the Deep explores the convergence between the real creatures beneath our seas and the monsters\, beasts and beings we have imagined living alongside them for centuries.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLook forward to guest speakers and storytelling sprinkled throughout the Easter holidays to bring the experience to life even more!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd we want local artists to be part of it. \n\n\n\nDark Cornwall are inviting artists of all ages to take inspiration from the strange\, wonderful and occasionally downright bizarre creatures living beneath our seas. \n\n\n\nThis goes beyond the magnificent crustaceans\, but also enigmatic beasts like blennies\, anemones\, jellyfish\, nudibranchs\, and just about anything you can find lurking in a rockpool! \n\n\n\nThen you add a little dash of fantasy and folklore. Turn them into beasts\, monsters and mythical beings that might have crawled straight from the pages of your favourite book of myths and legends. \n\n\n\nSelected work will become part of Lore of the Deep\, exhibited alongside some of Dark Cornwall’s own creatures. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore information about the exhibition and how to submit your artwork can be found on our website: https://www.darkcornwall.com/exhibitions \n\n\n\nBook tickets on The National Lobster Hatchery website here: https://nationallobsterhatchery.co.uk/tickets/
