Jazz Festival break
The Yarn Market Hotel in Dunster, based within Exmoor National Park, hosts a 3 night break on a dinner bed and breakfast basis, with entertainment each evening after dinner from jazz bands the Riviera Ramblers, Great Gatsby Trio and Debs, Megs & the Gang. Our jazz breaks are a well established feature with Yarn Market Hotel guests and jazz aficionados from all over the UK and beyond. Johns Shillito’s Riviera Ramblers comprises six excellent musicians steeped in the nostalgic sounds of classic jazz and swing, and with 2 guitars, adds an additional “gypsy jazz” flavour, with echoes of New Orleans, Harlem and Paris. The Great Gatsby Trio play Great American Songbook classic jazz with lots of harmony vocals. Debs, Megs & the Gang are 6 piece jazz band with harmony vocals and a variety of instrument and great drum sounds.

Ann Hyde Art Exhibition
From Watercolours, acrylics and, her favourite medium Oils, Ann captures the atmosphere of the day with her artworks. Preferring to paint 'en plein air’ Ann admits there is no better way to capture the scene than being there in person. Her art shows this with atmosphere and light, saying even on an overcast day there can be contrasts.
Ann can often be seen setting up her easel at various locations around Exmoor National Park. Exmoor itself offers so many different challenges with landscapes, seascapes and wildlife.
