Community and culture are fundamental elements of UNESCO Biosphere Reserves and Bideford's First Friday events are a superb celebration of these. For this very special B10 First Friday, Mill Street traders are spreading the word about buying local, supporting local farmers and growers, appreciating local artists and entertainers and supporting the local community. There will be live music in the First Friday marquee outside Blazey's Cafe with Trudi Mackie-Brown at 4 and the fabulous folk trio Babelfish, featuring Chris Millington, Lisa Sture and John Hextall from 5.30pm. There will be more live music and street entertainment throughout the afternoon along Mill Street and an art workshop with North Devon artist Peter Ward from 4-6pm. Peter will be painting using the Bideford Black pigment which is the subject of a current research project at The Burton Art Gallery in Bideford. B10 First Friday will also present an exclusive opportunity for visitors to get their hands on a set of B10 recipe cards created by Camper Van Cook, Martin Dorey. A great champion of the North Devon Biosphere and outdoor living, Martin has produced five collectible cards featuring delicious recipes using North Devon ingredients. The recipes are ideal for summer barbecues and camping trips but can easily be adapted for indoor cooks! Selected shops along Mill Street in Bideford will be giving out these free recipe cards on First Friday 5 July before they are distributed to libraries and tourist information centres around the Biosphere. Follow the trail and be the first to collect the full set of cards.
